Seven of the board’s nine mayoral appointees voted 5-2 in favor of rent hikes between 2 and 4.5% for a one-year lease and 4 to 6.5% for two years. Minutes earlier, its two tenant members had walked out in protest, along with most of the chanting crowd. citylimits.org/2024/05/01/nyc…
“Should I pay for my medication or should I pay my rent?” said stabilized tenant Viola Bibins, 77. “I am on a fixed income because I’m retired, and my rent isn’t that high but I still can’t afford it.” Story by @emma_a_whitford, photos by @aditalwar: bit.ly/3QqDNeK

If the disclaimer is up, I think it's safe to say that community preference for housing lotteries will now be 20% for the next 5 years, down from the traditional 50%, which was set to begin at the end of this April.

“Calling this a pilot was the fig leaf that allowed them to play politics with boundaries” -@hslatkin Executive Director at @chpcny on the state’s go-ahead for a new basement&cellar legalization pilot in select city community districts. For @CityLimitsNews citylimits.org/2024/04/29/adv…
“I’m surprised, I’m baffled, I’m angry,” @SandyforCouncil told @CPjanaro in his postmortem on the state's new basement legalization pilot. The pilot excludes Nurse's district, among many others: citylimits.org/2024/04/29/adv…
belated little pat on the back here: this @SafetyNetUJC SCOTUS brief in the Grants Pass case references no fewer than *5* @CityLimitsNews stories Bylines include @dparramejia @DavidFBrand @patrickspauster @justanesta and myself :) supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/2…
The New York state budget deal wrapped without the inclusion of big ticket climate bills that sought, on several fronts, to accelerate the state's transition to a zero emissions economy. @MariRebuaSimoes on what happened: bit.ly/3Qi2Z6Z
.@EmmaVigeland interviewed me today on @majorityfm about my work in urban planning. I explained that the most surprising thing I learned was how high the income eligibility is for affordable housing. Only 15% of completed affordable housing units was for extremely low income.
And shout out to local journalist @CPjanaro of @CityLimitsNews for uncovering all of the data around how many units go to extremely low income tenants and making that data accessible in his articles!
From “good cause” carve outs to adjusted Individual Apartment Improvement (IAI) caps, City Limits breaks down how major planks of the state budget deal will impact tenants’ eviction protections—and rents. bit.ly/4d2MzsT
For NYC tenants who *are* now covered by good cause, here's the gist of the (not small) shift: There used to be no recourse if your LL decided not to renew your tenancy. Now there is. And if they try to up the rent >5%+CPI, 10% max, you can challenge. citylimits.org/2024/04/20/nys…
This is pretty wild. There was pushback from some individual lawmakers on Hochul's basement apartment plan in NYC. So a new pilot program applies ... only in very targeted parts of Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan.
New @CityLimitsNews: "New Yorkers can finally review the details of a major state housing deal that temporarily extends new eviction defenses to certain renters, depending on factors like their apartment’s location, age, ownership and cost." citylimits.org/2024/04/20/nys…
“Viewed in isolation, a proposal to exempt small residential portfolios from new eviction protections could exclude hundreds of thousands of New York City apartments." buff.ly/3W1hwHI By: @patrickspauster and @emma_a_whitford via @CityLimitsNews
City Comptroller @bradlander saw the @CityLimitsNews shelter census tracker we built in 2022 (and that @emma_a_whitford, @patrickspauster and @JeanmarieEvelly have continued to update) and said, ‘Hey, we should do that too’ Check out the original here: citylimits.org/nyc-shelter-co…
We must prioritize deeper affordability. ANHD Director of Organizing and Advocacy Emily Goldstein says 60 percent of AMI still excludes many of the people who most need affordable housing in the city. #CityofYes @CPjanaro via @CityLimitsNews citylimits.org/2024/04/12/pub…
@CPjanaro @DeptVetAffairs You're welcome. Please let me know if you figure it out; I could raise this at tomorrow's chief FOIA officer council public meeting.

This is a sitting New York City council member calling for students to be killed for their first amendment. Another Republican council member brought a gun to a student protest. They are ACTUALLY dangerous.
The real estate lobby elected Eric Adams - they were by far his biggest donors. When he won the primary in 2021, they immediately saw their opportunity and began to fund a big dark money effort to wreck Local Law 97. 🧵
The real estate lobby’s pushing Intro 772, which would gut NYC’s landmark climate/jobs law, Local Law 97. It would destroy tens of thousands of jobs, increase pollution & raise utility bills. 😳 Meanwhile, large co-ops are complying with LL97, which is succeeding. 😃Example:
Nathan Berman is a real-estate developer who specializes in the transformation of huge, obsolete office towers into apartments. He compares the effort to extract as much residential rental space as possible to solving a Rubik’s Cube. nyer.cm/hyVRL5Z

Alright alright ALRIGHT! Y’all practically forced my hand…..
Still buzzing from the amazing support for #CityofYes this morning! As @DanGarodnick said - This is the moment where we can turn the tide on housing in New York City and set ourselves on a path with more housing opportunities and more housing choices for New Yorkers.
Big day for NYC: public review for #CityofYes for Housing Opportunity is officially underway! We’re now one step closer to tackling our housing crisis by creating a little more housing across all our neighborhoods. A more affordable and equitable city is possible!
