ALBANY — A dozen protesters, including state Sen. Bill Perkins (D-Manhattan), were arrested yesterday for blocking the entrance to the governor’s office in a choreographed act of civil disobedience to push for rent control.

About 200 demonstrators were chanting for new legislation for the 2.5 million people protected by rent control in New York City apartments while 30 uniformed state troopers stood by.

Those who sat or knelt in front of the main door to Gov. Cuomo’s offices face a disorderly-conduct charge, a violation.

Perkins, the first escorted out, says protesters want rent laws renewed or reformed.
