I have never heard or read anything about passing rent controlled apt down to your children. I have listened to some Freakonomics podcasts about it so I am not an expert.
I personally would not want to have me and my wife’s room be my dead parents room.
As for a solution I don’t know if I have one.

In NYC. rent-controlled apartments, not rent-stabilized ones.

That completely goes against the whole purpose of rent control. People who need it, need to be able access it.
I currently own an affordable-income condo, through the BPDA, and while I don’t need to prove my income anymore, after purchasing it, anybody I sell it to, or leave it to in my will, needs to submit their income to the BPDA for approval.

That's wild. I didn't know you no longer need to provide income once you purchase one of those units. You'd think they would do checks every 2-3 years. Sounds ripe for abuse but I guess they are hard to get so not like there are many opportunities

Think about it though… if they evict you because you suddenly pass some arbitrary threshold, that would discourage you from seeking higher paying jobs.
