@BushwickTU @HunterBoone @bronxilla @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec All you know is how to dodge numbers. Calling it ‘cognitive dissonance’ won’t change the numbers. Freeze the rent and maintenance gets worse. Tenants lose too.

so @claireforny was the only NY-7 candidate who showed up to support a rent freeze at tonights historical RGB hearing!!
(and that’s me standing behind her 🤓)
Claire Valdez@claireforny
Landlord profits are up while New Yorkers choose between paying the rent and paying for food. The RGB must freeze the rent on ALL leases. And I’ll fight alongside tenants across NYC to make sure it does in June.
English
@bronxilla @ray_engine28 @HunterBoone @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec and they already do, they just have investors that are owed money, do you not know anything about the history of rent control in NYC?
English
@BushwickTU @ray_engine28 @HunterBoone @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec Rent stabilization is not meant to keep rents flat. It's meant keep rents from going up as if they were in the free market. The RGB is supposed to consider property owner expenses. A property owner has to at least break even to be able to cover costs.
English
@ray_engine28 @HunterBoone @bronxilla @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec it’s because you don’t know and you refuse to learn, it’s called cognitive dissonance, tenants will win.
English
@BushwickTU @HunterBoone @bronxilla @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec No thanks, I have better things to do with my time. Stay ignorant
English
@ray_engine28 @HunterBoone @bronxilla @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec HAHAHAHA YAP YAP you’re still not disproving me about 2005-2008. Try again.
English
@BushwickTU @HunterBoone @bronxilla @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec Wrong. Rent stabilization is supposed to cover rising costs + maintenance reserves, not deliver zero real growth forever. RGB data shows heavily stabilized buildings already have the thinnest margins and slowest income growth — exactly why they deteriorate.
English
@ray_engine28 @HunterBoone @bronxilla @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec LOL you just proved my point, it’s a rent stabilized building, it’s not supposed to have growth. The rent is meant to maintain, not pay back all these investors which is why illegal destabilization happened. Can you understand that?
English
@BushwickTU @HunterBoone @bronxilla @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec Checked the RGB study? Heavily rent-stabilized buildings have the worst margins and slowest income growth. That’s why deferred maintenance is concentrated there. Stabilization caps cash flow for repairs — the data proves it.
English
@ray_engine28 @HunterBoone @bronxilla @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec Yup, I have, and it covers costs so there’s no issue.
2005-2008 in NYC was the mass destabilization of classic RS buildings and investors put their money in seeking profit, leading to most of these buildings to literally fall apart because nothing was reinvested.
English
@BushwickTU @HunterBoone @bronxilla @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec Look at the numbers for heavily rent stabilized buildings and come back to this comment
English
@ray_engine28 @HunterBoone @bronxilla @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec lol the profits exceeded inflation, making operational costs virtually the same, do you know what basic
English
@HunterBoone @bronxilla @BushwickTU @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec so you attended RGB hearing without looking at that data from RGB? 2023-24 operating costs rose 4.2% citywide. Net operating income rose 2.2% inflation adjusted. can you do rest of the math?

Today, in partnership w/ Councilmember Crystal Hudson @crystalforbk, we announced a class action lawsuit against Shamco Management for defrauding tenants.
If you steal affordability from the people of NYC, getting caught is not a question of if, but when.

@HunterBoone @katewillett @claireforny @karyaschanilec If those were the actual profits investors would be flocking to get into the business. You’re either making stuff up or distorting data.

The new Chief Brand Officer at @WorkingFamilies flips Brownstones in Bed Stuy
NYS Senator Julia Salazar@SalazarSenate
To no one's surprise, most of the homes flipped were in neighborhoods of color. Home flipping makes homeownership & rent unaffordable, and displaces lifelong residents My and @CatalinaCruzNY 's End Predatory Home Flipping Act (S574) would help stop this bkreader.com/non-profit-com…

Investors are buying homes, giving them shoddy renovations, then quickly re-selling them at high prices. This drives up the cost of rent & homeownership.
My End Predatory Home Flipping Act would discourage this practice by taxing investors who buy and re-sell homes within 2 yrs
Gothamist@Gothamist
Home flipping in NYC is hiking prices, pushing out Black residents, report says gothamist.com/news/home-flip…

@BushwickTU @WorkingFamilies G evening. Not all flips end up bad for tenants. 3 of my buildings I bought “flipped”. I have less than .1% vacancy.

@VickieforNYC When you lose your office, we will be free of your disinformation.
May your lawsuits destroy your career.
English
Political canvassing and organizing using government authority and resources is highly illegal and will lead to a lawsuit.
And I've been doing pretty well with my lawsuits lately.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
New York, let's get organized. In a city of over 8 million, just 400 people showed up to speak at the last Rent Guidelines Board hearing — where decisions about rents are made. We can do better. If we want a city that works for tenants and landlords alike, we need New Yorkers to show up and make their voices heard. The next hearings are this June. Visit ORGANIZE.NYC.GOV to get involved.
