Show Notes
New York City proposes Safer Homes Act to seize apartment buildings from worst landlords, targeting properties with massive unpaid taxes and serious housing violations. The bill, sponsored by Bronx Councilmember Pierina Sanchez, aims to fix dangerous conditions in about two hundred buildings with over two hundred fifty million dollars in debts and fourteen thousand violations. However, small landlord advocates worry it still threatens family-owned properties. The bill has thirty-four sponsors out of fifty-one councilmembers, with City Council Speaker Julie Menin yet to endorse it, leaving its path to a vote uncertain.
