That’s easy. Just slap on vacancy tax on landlords.

And now Mandami is saying if the landlords can’t fix them, the city (him) is going to act like a communist country and seize the building. 😑

That’s crazy to pay under $1,500 a month. I wouldn’t upgrade anything as an owner.

Rent stabilization was a huge mistake… remove the red tape so NYC can build like it used to

Another example of ‘well meaning’ liberal laws that just don’t work. Berkeley and Oakland have the same laws and it is a nightmare for owners

Well done! Excellent explanation. Hope GenZ NYers figure this out.

Remove the tax right-offs for keeping them vacant and force them to fix their apartments.

Vacancy Tax. 60% of market price each month with 2% increase each month thereafter (after an inital 4 month renovation period.)

All right, you convinced me. Rent control doesn’t work. So what’s the solution? Because most people I know can’t afford $4500 in rent every month.

So rather than break even, the owner rather absorb a loss every month?

Rent freeze has been tried over and over and it always has the same effect yet democrats/socialists just ignore historical evidence of their terrible policies.

Woah this video ignores a very obvious fact. That apartment has sat empty for 4 years and the last rent was $1160 (ie $13,920 annually). So for the past 5 years, this landlord has forgone receiving $69,600 and in two more years they will have forgone receiving $97,470, just to avoid paying $100k. And my point of this being that landlords have done this to themselves and should not be pitied, especially when its clear from the state of this apartment that the landlord's neglect has made it worse and thats what ultimately is going to end up costing him $100k.

LoveUnderWill :
You’re missing the play. Mandami want the landlords to give up and sell the property to either the city or “friend of the city.” Once they control it they’ll use taxpayer $ to renovate then sell to their buddies at a discount who then kick $ back to the mayor. It’s an old but effective play.
