Met Council on Housing

Since these tenants have been in court for over two years, facing deplorable conditions, including rats, roaches, collapsing ceilings, and ongoing harassment. It is inexplicable that Daniel Ohebshalom would spend so much money on lawyers rather than repairs.

BREAKING: COPA IS BACK! Today, @cmsandynurse rallied with tenants and community groups to announce the reintroduction of the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA).

Washington Heights Tenants Rally Against Unsafe Conditions & Neglect Tenants stood together to demand dignity, accountability, and homes people can actually live in ✊🏽🏘️

While I fight in Albany for a fair budget rooted in New Yorkers’ needs, my team stood in solidarity with tenants of 725 W 172nd St. Housing is dignity, safety, and home. I stand with these residents as they demand urgent repairs, accountability, & respect. We will support them.

There is no NYC without unions. A people united and organized cannot be defeated. Together, we're showing the world what solidarity means.

This is what solidarity looks like 👀

💪HAPPY MAYDAY NYC🌇

.@GovKathyHochul: NYC can't close a $5.4B gap thru cuts alone w/o hurting NYers. It’s time to stop protecting tax breaks for the rich & start raising $ NYC needs. We agree with @NYCMayor & @JulieMenin: NYS must act to reduce the PTET credit. STATEMENT: peoplesplan.nyc/news/press-rel…

She has organized with Met Council to hold them accountable 💪 Guardian Realty has systematically overcharged tenants in rent-stabilized apartments while neglecting basic repairs, leaving residents to face hazardous conditions like collapsing ceilings and rat infestations 🐀🐀🐀

🗣️Michelle is a NYC native from BK who has lived in Harlem for the past nine years.💥 She is speaking out because her tenant association has been fighting their landlord, Guardian Realty, for over six years and is demanding stronger support from city government.

We applaud @NYCMayor for vetoing Intro 175B & standing for free speech rights & safety. 100+ orgs & unions & thousands of NYers made it clear: yes to our rights & #NoTo175B. Let's keep pressure up! @NYCCouncil must vote NO & sustain veto. Act now: tinyurl.com/noto175b

New Yorkers are tired of real estate giveaways! More than a million of us voted for a different approach to solving our housing crisis in November. It’s time to put the 70% of NYC that rents at the center of our housing policy. nytimes.com/2026/04/23/nyr…

Update on my arrest:

Mamdani announces deed theft prevention office in wake of NYC councilmember’s arrest gothamist.com/news/mamdani-a…

Today Zohran Mamdani is launching the Office of Deed Theft Prevention. The mayor is appointing Peter White, a lawyer who has worked on deed theft litigation, foreclosures, landlord-tenant disputes to be the director of the new office, according to @THECITYNY. The office will be aimed at stopping deed theft, the fraudulent forging or scamming of home deeds in order to steal houses out from under families, often Black families in New York who have owned these homes for decades or generations. thecity.nyc/2026/04/24/mam…
