Summary
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is rolling out bold new measures to crack down on bad landlords, fueled by feedback from 2,000 renters in hearings called “Rental Ripoff.” The plan includes harsher penalties, expanded liens for code violations, and recurring fines for delays — even targeting landlords who falsely claim repairs are done. With a new task force launching this fall and City Council approval needed, the goal is a fairer, safer housing system where accountability drives change — and problem properties may even be transferred to new management through tenant collaboration.
