After decades of perseverance, the residents of 204 Avenue A are finally back home.

Through HPD’s ANCP program, they returned this year as owners of their units.

Today we announced our new housing plan, ushering in the next era of housing in New York. Guided by the voices of tenants, organizers, and New Yorkers at large, the plan details how we plan to push forward the development of more affordable housing and tenant protections.

This morning we are touring a number of HPD’s supportive developments with @FACbrooklyn, ahead of a very special announcement… 👀

Commissioner Dina Levy is currently speaking at @CityAndStateNY’s Affordable Housing Summit.

“On procurement: The way we pay our nonprofits is absurd. If nothing else, I want to fix what’s in our reach. We need some impatience about moving the needle.”

I’m here in Albany with @NYCHousing Commr. Dina Levy to advocate for modernizing SEQRA!

Housing in NYC is way too expensive, and years of red tape and paperwork add to that cost. By updating SEQRA for the 21st century, we can build more affordable housing at lower cost.

This morning, I became the first New York City Mayor to visit Housing Court. And what I saw will stay with me for a long time. Families on the brink of losing their homes. Tenants navigating unsafe conditions, harassment, and uncertainty, searching for justice in an overwhelming system. Small property owners trying to keep up with their mortgage payments.

I met with Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas, New York City Administrative Judge Shahabuddeen Ally, and other members of the bench, and I walked through Resolution, HP, and NYCHA Parts. I spoke with people in intake, with legal service providers, and with the advocates who show up every day to stand beside New Yorkers who need support.

Housing court is where the promises we make about dignity, stability and public excellence are tested in real time.

In the months ahead, my team will work closely with the Chief Judge and the Chief Administrative Judge to confront the concerns we heard — directly from judges, tenants, landlords, legal service providers, and advocates.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Yesterday, I visited an apartment in Harlem with inspectors from NYC Housing Preservation & Development to ensure there was no lead-based paint or other hazards.

New York City requires inspections of homes built before 1960 with children under 6 to ensure families are not exposed to hazardous conditions.

If your home is not adequately heated, is at risk of lead-based paint, or has any other hazards, call 311 or file a complaint online.

[Kim Moscaritolo @KimHPDComms]

I had the pleasure of attending this @NYLawSchool panel on housing last week. I highly recommend giving a watch, and I'm not just saying that because the @NYCHousing Commissioner was one of the panelists, though she did do a great job!

Almost everyone says they want more affordable housing in NYC. In practice actual projects are often bitterly opposed.

Case in point: 1727 Amsterdam Av., on 145th St. Currently the site of an outdated, mostly empty building. Proposed to become 200 units of desperately needed affordable housing, and new state-of-the-art mental health clinic.

After a tough, years-long fight, today the @NYCCouncil approved the project. Kudos to @ShaunAbreu for staying strong on this. Big win. We need more of this all over NYC.

"Owners across the city are facing rising costs — insurance, utilities, taxes — the day-to-day realities of operating buildings in this market. Those pressures affect nonprofit and private owners alike, and they make it harder to keep properties financially stable."
