New York Community Bank's troubles stem from acquiring billions of dollars in assets from Signature Bank during last year's banking crisis, leading to mounting losses and a steep drop in its stock price.

FDIC Finds Buyer for Signature Bank Operations.

New York Community Bank's acquisition of loans from Signature Bank did not include the latter's $19.5bn multifamily loan book, which primarily covers the troubled rent-stabilized sector. The move could signal problems with those loans or simply that NYCB did not want to be overweighted in that area. The majority of Signature's multifamily lending was to rent-stabilized properties, which have seen values sink between 20 to 65 percent since a 2019 state law severely limited rent increases. The delayed sale of the loans does not bode well for potential buyers' perception of the multifamily loan book, and for stabilized borrowers facing distress, NYCB's pass on Signature's commercial real estate portfolio could spell tougher times ahead.
