For 60 years, Met Council on Housing has fought to ensure safe, stable, and affordable housing for all New Yorkers. Tenants' Rights Hotline: 212-979-0611
Since these tenants have been in court for over two years, facing deplorable conditions, including rats, roaches, collapsing ceilings, and ongoing harassment. It is inexplicable that Daniel Ohebshalom would spend so much money on lawyers rather than repairs.
🗣️This evening, Bronx tenants rallied outside of the Rent Guidelines Board Public Hearing, to demand that the RGB stop landlord bailouts and freeze the rent for the 2.4 million rent stabilized tenants in the city on both one and two year leases.
Met Council on Housing offers free roundtable clinics where tenants can share knowledge, support one another, and learn about their rights

Another rent hike would only deepen the affordability crisis and force more families out of their homes.
No more rent hikes for vulture landlords.
FREEZE THE RENT.
NO INCREASES ON ALL LEASES.

🔴Major housing code violations in rent stabilized apartments fell by 8% last year.
And it’s not just newer buildings leading this trend—violations were down 9% in pre-1974 >80% rent stabilized buildings.
Do you know what that means? ⤵️
BREAKING: The REST Act has just passed the Assembly Housing Committee. We are one step closer to expanding rent stabilization across the state. 👐🏿 #TenantsDeserveREST
Tenants at 725 W 172nd Street in Washington Heights rallied last Monday neighbors and housing advocates to demand immediate action from landlord L.C.S. Enterprises Inc., led by George and Tony Huang, after months of deteriorating conditions and repeated management failures.
For years, New Yorkers have been priced out of their own neighborhoods as outside investors have profited.
With @CMSandyNurse's COPA legislation, when many apartment buildings go up for sale, tenants and nonprofits would have a chance to buy the building before investors.
I'm proud to support COPA, grateful for Councilmember Nurse's partnership, and looking forward working with City Council to pass this important bill.
