@GovKathyHochul @EMPIREREPORTNY Good evening your honor. Would you please add more judges to the housing courts? They are backed up 2 to 4+ years and many small owners can sustain. Thank you.

After my meeting with Dr. Mehmet Oz today, the federal government approved our plan to protect health care for 1.3 million New Yorkers.
With GOP budget cuts hurting hundreds of thousands more people, I’ll keep fighting to make sure every New Yorker gets the care they need.

@AlBeachGuy Just curious. What exactly r they going to do there ? And since probably none work , who is financing this?

@petersterne G evening. Any chance they could lobby their lawmakers to not house tens of thousand of migrants ?

Really interesting story in the Times Union: timesunion.com/capitol/articl…
DSA is adapting its volunteer field program to lobby individual lawmakers to support raising taxes on the rich:

@MarkLevineNYC @FitchRatings Good evening. Maybe taking in 50,000+ migrants wasn’t the best idea. Thank you for investing in Israel
English
And now @FitchRatings has moved NYC's fiscal outlook to "negative" as well.

Mark D. Levine@MarkLevineNYC
A second credit rating agency has now revised its outlook for NYC from “stable” to “negative.” In its statement, @krollbondrating notes that the City’s current budget proposal “reveals a materially larger structural imbalance than previously reflected.” This is not a downgrade—but it is a warning. Importantly, New York City’s economy remains strong, tax revenues are solid, and our bonds continue to be safe and secure. Taken together with last week’s negative outlook from @moodysratings, and similarly strong language from @SPGlobalRatings, the message from the rating agencies is unmistakable: NYC must address its structural imbalance—and do so without relying on rainy-day reserves to close recurring budget gaps. I look forward to working with partners in City and State government to deliver a budget that restores confidence, strengthens our fiscal foundation, and puts NYC on a truly sustainable path.

@supermarke @fuelgrannie @laurenlself G afternoon. How do u think this is fair given that the different buildings have different rates of tax and insurance increases?
English
@laurenlself This is actually a great argument to expand rent control to all buildings, thanks!
English
It is diabolical that rent control is not means-tested.
Rent control in SF is determined not by a tenant’s income, but by the building’s structure and the year it was built.
Was it built before June 1979? It’s probably rent controlled.
If Marc Andreessen or Garry Tan signed a lease in a duplex built in 1978, their landlord would not be allowed to increase their rent by more than 60% of Bay Area CPI/year (1.6% this year)
Meanwhile, an elementary school teacher living in a single family unit built just two years later in 1980 can see a 40% annual rent increase. There are no rules against that!
1 in 5 rent-controlled tenants in SF pays less than 50% of market rent. No income analysis. No verification. No one even asks!
We means-test food stamps. We means-test Medicaid. We means-test student aid.
But the biggest housing subsidy in San Francisco?
Yeah, we’re gonna base that one on whether your building was framed before or after June 1979.
Unrelated: does anyone know why the rent is so damn high?
Lauren Self@laurenlself
50 SF residents hit the lottery last year They lived in rent-controlled units and their landlords paid >$100k/unit to get them out They took, on average, $76k to their new homes The former tenant of 2121 Divisadero scored $250k all to themselves! And the best part?
English
@JoAnneSimonBK52 @petersterne @EmilyAssembly @Gonzalez4NY G mng. Please mention skyrocketing insurance as well. @EmilyAssembly and @Gonzalez4NY know of these increases but yet each year support rent freezes for the stabilized buildings.
English
The main driver of sky-high utility bills is our reliance on costly fossil fuels and the need to repair aging gas infrastructure.
Read this excellent op-ed by my colleagues @EmilyAssembly & @Gonzalez4NY

@Sean_Butler1 G mng. Any talk about adding more judges to the housing courts? There is currently a 2 to 4 year backup. There is no reason for this and many owners of two family houses have had very bad experiences, causing them not to rent out their second units anymore. Please consider.

BIG: SEQR reform is the secret sauce to building the abundant and affordable housing and infrastructure our state needs.
Get it done and LET THEM BUILD.
Governor Kathy Hochul@GovKathyHochul
What does SEQR reform really mean? If communities say yes to housing and infrastructure, we let them build. Let's break it down:

@bfurnas I have never in my life seen NYPD pull a car over for running a red light(even when it happens right in front of cops) and yet I’ve seen cops set up traps at red lights for bicyclists dozens of times
English
“Now cyclists who run red lights will face $190 fines — the same as drivers, even though e-bikes accounted for less than 0.04 percent of reported pedestrian injuries in the first three months of 2025, according to the NYPD.”

@jaymart222 "When well-intentioned landlords cannot see a reasonable prospect of operating a building successfully, they will be sellers and not buyers of buildings. Bad landlords become the only buyers, and the worst outcomes multiply."
English
“What can a landlord do in these circumstances? In years past, private owners may have been able to raise capital for improvements by refinancing their buildings at lower interest rates, but the rates that made this possible are no longer commercially available, and their return is not imminent. Raising rents to make their balance sheets work isn’t an option in rent-stabilized or subsidized affordable housing. This leaves the alternatives of cutting services to the bone — something a well-intentioned landlord really doesn’t want to do — or asking for government assistance. “

@GovKathyHochul @EMPIREREPORTNY G mg your Honor. Would u please add more judges to housing courts? Thank u

Dylan Contreras is home.
But we shouldn't have had to fight for ten months to release a high school student who did everything the right way.
And we won't rest until every innocent person who ICE has snatched off the streets is reunited with their loved ones.

🚨 LMFAO! New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is being mocked nationwide after she BEGGED people to move back from Florida
4 years ago, she was GLOATING, saying Republicans should "jump on a bus and head down to Florida"
Mamdani will make the problem EVEN WORSE!

@not_your_LL @sam_d_1995 …and keep in mind the 60,000+ apts that rent stabilized owners have to keep vacant because they can’t afford renovations
English
How many apartments in 2-4 family houses are being held off the market or are under occupied (e.g. kept vacant for when relatives visit) because the owners have had a bad experience in Housing Court or are scared of its dysfunction. IDK but suspect it's a significant number because I've heard may too many stories.
English
it’s kind of incredible that our socialist mayor is getting shit done by cutting red tape and streamlining our permitting requirements
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
If you own a home with a basement, attic, or backyard, chances are you’ve thought about using it to earn a little extra income or as space for a loved one. We want to make it as easy (and affordable) as possible for you to do that. NYC recently legalized ADUs — but for too many New Yorkers, they’re still tied up in bureaucracy and expense. We're fixing that. Our new toolkit at nyc.gov/aduforyou includes preapproved building plans and a financing calculator so you can get right to building. If we want New York to remain a city for everyone, we have to make it easier for homeowners to stay here. ADU for You will do just that.

@PeoplesPlanNYC Good afternoon. Concerning the violations, you should take a look at NYcha.

It’s time NYC’s largest lawbreaking corporations and landlords pay what they owe! That’s why we’re launching the Make ‘Em Pay Campaign.

Hey Mark Levine:
Years in housing court to collect past due rents.
And added strain from unvetted illegal immigration.
Regulated rents that fail to keep up with inflation.
Supply shrinks.
And your solution is backyard sheds?
Mark D. Levine@MarkLevineNYC
@ForbesTutt10128 We have a severe housing shortage. We’re short at least 500k units in the 5 boroughs.

@PIX11News G mng. Given the 2-3 year back up in housing court , only few will be interested in this.

NYC is clearing the way to create more apartments with this program. Learn more: pix11.com/news/local-new…

@flushingtenant G mng. If a tt with a program decides not to pay copay, there is no way to hold accountable.
