Episode Details

Six landlords are suing the Rent Guidelines Board to overturn a rent freeze, claiming it was politically manipulated by Mayor Mamdani and ignored building owners’ rising costs. While tenant advocates argue net income for buildings rose, landlords say operating expenses jumped over five percent — yet rents were still frozen. They’re calling the process a farce, and if successful, the lawsuit could force future rent decisions to be more transparent. Meanwhile, the city pushes to take over troubled apartments for community ownership, unions demand safer construction practices at a former Pfizer site, and a former executive faces trial for an alleged $86 million fraud after plea talks collapsed — he’s currently under house arrest.
