Approved ✅
@NYCCouncil just approved the City’s first ELURP application for 351 Powers Avenue in the Bronx, helping fast-track 84 affordable homes, including 30 homes for formerly homeless New Yorkers.
What once could’ve taken up to 7 months was completed in just 90 days.
Great interview with @NYCHousing Commissioner Levy on yesterday's Housing Court announcement. Thanks to the Unified Court System for fast-tracking the most critical tenant emergencies, and to HPD, @NYC_Buildings, MOPT, legal services providers & more for their collaboration on this.

Eligible cases will now be assigned a judge the same day they’re filed, with proceedings on an expedited timeline.
As Commissioner Levy said: “By delivering justice faster, we will better protect tenants and more effectively pursue cases against willfully negligent landlords.”
Delivering justice faster means protecting tenants sooner.
Yesterday, HPD Commissioner Dina Levy helped mark the launch of a new Housing Court Fast Track for some of the city’s most urgent housing cases, an initiative she has pushed forward since early in her tenure.

Cuando su hogar no es seguro, no debería tener que esperar meses —o años— para obtener una solución. 🏠⚖️
Estamos lanzando un nuevo procedimiento acelerado en el Tribunal de Vivienda para agilizar la tramitación de casos urgentes relacionados con órdenes de desalojo, condiciones peligrosas, averías de ascensores y más.
For eligible cases, a judge will now be assigned the same day the case is filed, with proceedings moving on an expedited timeline.
It’s one more way we’re working to #FixTheCity , which means protecting tenants and holding negligent landlords accountable. 🏠
When your home is unsafe, you shouldn’t have to wait months — or years — for relief. 🏠⚖️
We are launching a new Housing Court Fast Track to move urgent cases involving vacate orders, hazardous conditions, elevator outages, and more through court faster.
The Mamdani administration has launched a fast track for some housing court cases. This advances part of the "Fix the City" initiative outlined in the mayor's housing plan: https://t.co/C5SR0w2sma
Today, we’re delivering housing justice faster.
By speeding up the worst cases in Housing Court, tenants will get dangerous conditions fixed faster, and can move back home sooner.
Last week, Team Lee, Team Stavisky, and HPD participated in an outreach event at Cunningham Heights to connect tenants with valuable resources available through HPD. As we work collaboratively to remedy the concerns heard, I am thankful for the dedication of HPD's outreach team!
If you were affected by the storm on Thursday, August 20, please report damage you may have experienced: https://t.co/akqD407MMs so we can assess damage and if the City is potentially eligible to apply for federal assistance.
.@SenGillibrand explains why reporting storm damage matters. Damage reports help the City document impacts, identify needs, and support requests for potential State and Federal assistance.
