Why Some “Luxury” Apartments in NYC Are Breaking Down

from NYC NOW · host WNYC

Some of New York City’s newer “luxury” apartment buildings are facing complaints from tenants who say the reality doesn’t match the price. WNYC reporter David Brand joins us to explain new data showing a share of recently built buildings have serious housing code violations, including heat outages, leaks, and flooding.  Plus, sports reporter Priya Desai breaks down the new WNBA labor agreement that could raise salaries and tie player pay more directly to league revenue as the league continues to grow.
