“We know the Good Cause bill as it’s written will not pass”

Andrea Stewart-Cousins at Albany presser when asked whether bill on conversation for end of leg session

[Peter Sterne @petersterne]

NY state Senate says it won't pass "good cause" eviction bill before end of session. https://t.co/JGhHUm8obT

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

If #GoodCause does not pass this session, @AndreaSCousins signature will be on every no-cause eviction warrant in New York.

@GovKathyHochul, @CarlHeastie, @AndreaSCousins will be personally responsible for every rent hike, every retaliatory eviction in our state.

[NYS Senator Julia Salazar @SalazarSenate]

Thanks again to all of the community members, organizations, and advocates who joined @emilyassembly and I at our #GoodCause Townhall yesterday evening!

BREAKING: Albany’s #GoodCause law struck down, judge rules that ONLY the state can pass #GoodCause.

It’s time for @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie to act. We’re in a housing crisis and tenants need help. If cities can’t pass #GoodCause, our state lawmakers must.

@stnicksalliance and @UnitedNeighborO here and ready to go!! #OurHomesOurPower

.@nycpa released his 2022 Worst Landlord Watchlist today in Washington Heights, outside properties owned by Johnathan Santana, who topped this year's list. Santana averaged 2,980 open violations across 15 buildings this year. Landlords on 2022 list amassed over 69,000 violations.

[Robert Jackson @SenatorRJackson]

We must continue to find ways to prevent landlords from evading accountability & protect tenants from unsafe conditions.

Thanks to the @nycpa, the city has a tool with the Worst Landlord Watchlist to identify residential property owners who consistently break housing laws.

New @NYSHCR data shared w @DavidFBrand shows the number of rent-stabilized units registered as vacant has dropped by nearly 50% this year

The number of apartments marked empty mirrors the figure in 2017 & 18, the yrs before stronger rent laws took effect https://t.co/fpZBTN9nam

[The City Reporter @THECITYNY]

So far, landlords have registered 38,000 vacant rent-stabilized apartments this year with New York’s Division of Homes and Community Renewal, the state housing agency says in new preliminary numbers shared exclusively with @THECITYNY.

#endwarehousing dream team here at the @NYSHCR hearings calling for an end to warehousing and Frankensteining!! Close the loopholes! Tenants need affordable housing now. #housingcrisis

[EndWarehousingNY @NyWarehousing]

We’re out in force supporting tenant rights! There is an affordability crisis and homelessness is at record levels. @nyshcr must defend tenants & close loopholes that erode affordable housing.

[Build Up Justice NYC @BUJ_NYC]

"'Frankensteining' is the term tenant advocates use for reconfiguring, dividing, or combining two adjacent units to create a new apartment. Currently, when rent-stabilized units are Frankensteined, the landlord can charge whatever they’d like." https://t.co/XGqK64MbeX

[EndWarehousingNY @NyWarehousing]

"Its algorithm, ProPublica found, was driving rents higher and the company encouraged landlords to LEAVE SOME APARTMENTS VACANT in order to raise rent and be more profitable."

[Carlina Rivera @CarlinaRivera]

Vacancy rates for apartments under $1500 is essentially at functional zero, making it difficult for low-income and working class NYers to secure safe + well-maintained housing. Today we rallied against landlord neglect and warehousing, and will keep fighting. #endwarehousing

Join us as we rally to #endwarehousing!

[NYC Council Member Carlina Rivera @CMCarlinaRivera]
