5. Only buildings built before 1975 are under actual Rent Stabilization or Control

Therefore you'd already have the building or you just bought it fully aware of the limits. There have been newer programs but while those use the same rent guidlines for increases those buildings are under deed restrictions that have backups to calculate the allowed increases. And those limits are only on 20-30% of the building's units. These rules date to the 1940s, with only leases initiated before late 1970 part of a freeze, and later buildings with limited increases for newer leases on pre 1975 buildings. There is plenty of market rate, only issue is the market rate has been distoreted by limits and subsidies over 80 years now.
