Avi Yankelewitz and Nisan Zaghi guided the club members and Republican candidates housing and real estate issues.
Tenants could get free Legal Aid Society attorneys, but landlords must pay. Nisan’s advise to landlords seeking an eviction is “don’t” because it will cost more going through the legal system.
T. Levy and Rico Paniccia gave first hand horror stories trying to evict their tenants. Tenants would file so many unsubstantiated reports, damage property, skip hearings, use the system to get a free ride. Several city and state programs would even subsidize tenants at above market price without vetting. Landlords are assumed guilty by city agencies.
Craig T. mentioned that “Good Cause” eviction proposal would have the effect of rent stabilization on all multi-family units.
Solution? Stephen W. said, “elections”!
So many homeowners and landlords prefer not renting out available space to avoid the hassle from the City. Even the paperwork to remove multi-family units out of the system is expensive and complicated.
Other announcements were made by George Stein (Bayside Live TV), David Solano (InfraGard), Jay Lin (CEC D28 election), Kent Gomez (New York Citizens Audit), Martha Rowen (CQRC May 23 meeting on homeless and mentally illed), and Steve Speer (Medical Freedom).
