City Targets Bad Landlords with New Plan

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s bold new housing plan targets “bad landlords” with a 112-page strategy to evict neglectful owners and hand over properties to responsible buyers—starting with tenant-led investigations, same-day inspections, and even criminal charges for severe neglect. The city will empower tenants to withhold rent legally, partner with district attorneys, and deploy aggressive legal tools like foreclosure or court-appointed administrators. Meanwhile, mission-driven owners and community land trusts will get financial support to stabilize buildings—turning crisis zones into safer, livable spaces.
