For my liberal friends, if you heard a person speaking about paying taxes the way this woman speaks about being “forced” to pay rent, you’d think there was something wrong here. Tracy isn’t a random internet person; she wrote a book frequently cited by tenant advocates here in NY, including the mayor's inner circle, and as recently as April, she spoke at a UHAB conference with HPD officials. This is who is informing housing policy in New York City.

20 months no rent paid. 7 orders to show cause. Apartment vacated and completely destroyed. An HPD inspector would issue a dozen violations or more to the property owner for the damage caused by the tenant in this unit which the owner was legally barred from entering while the renter destroyed it. Must be capitalism’s fault right?

This law which requires gates to be 70% more see thru was passed when most council members weren’t old enough to drink and is one of hundreds of unfunded housing mandates that go into effect years after the council members who passed them have left office. These local laws are a huge reason why housing in the city is so expensive. Thanks to CBS New York for highlighting.

What’s upsetting about this isn’t that the Mayor is “attempting to protect tenants”; what is upsetting is that it’s performative bullshit. 1) The City of New York right now, today, can go in these buildings and repair them. HPD already has a program that does this and then bills the property owner (in this case, the debtor). Instead of press conference performance art, they could turn to the woman they are standing next to and actually make her apartment better tonight if that was the goal. 2) Half a million renters live in deplorable housing conditions in public housing that the Mayor is directly responsible for. In his first week, the mayor and his “tenant protector” haven’t utterd a word about the condition of their housing and how they are going to fix the $78 billion dollar problem that is. Why? 3) This is not about helping renters. You don’t bankrupt the buildings people live in, then complain the owners have no money to fix the building you bankrupted if your goal is to actually help the people who live inside of it. The average rent in the Pinnacle portfolio was $1,348. That’s $1,000 dollars per month below what the government charges taxpayers to run public housing in NYC. In the Assembly, the Mayor opposed changes to the 2019 rent law that would allow an owner to be compensated for ANY repair on vacant apartments. Empty. The Mayor is counting on people hating landlords more then they care about actually fixing our broken housing system. So far his election has proven him right.

There are two different housing markets in NYC. Nearly 60% of apartments in NYC are not free market. When you hear of $5,000 per month that isn’t the apartments that will get a rent freeze and in fact those apartments will likely see rent increases to pay for the rent freeze.
