Tenants are eligible for restitution if they are or were a tenant in a rent-stabilized or rent-controlled apartment owned by Croman between July 1, 2011 and December 20, 2017; they received a buyout of less than $20,000, not including any amount that purported to cover rent or arrears; and no other tenant in their apartment received money from the restitution fund.

In addition to the $8 million restitution, the settlement required an independent management company with no ties to Croman to run more than 100 Croman residential properties for five years. Earlier this year, the attorney general's office approved New York City Management for this job, and the company took over operations of the buildings on July 1, 2018.

In addition, the settlement required seven years of independent monitoring for compliance with the consent decree, providing reports to the attorney general. Underwood's office states this is the longest monitorship required in any tenant harassment case.

In October 2017, Croman was sentenced to a year in jail and paid a separate $5 million tax settlement. The Villager reported that Croman served time for eight months in the Lower Manhattan detention complex known as “The Tombs” and was released this past June.
