Landlords vs. Tenants: Housing in Mamdani’s New York

NYC NOW | Nov 9

Housing has been a major focus for Mayor Zohran Mamdani since taking office in January. His administration has heard from tenants about poor living conditions, but landlords have complaints of their own, from unpaid rent to rising costs and lengthy eviction proceedings.

WNYC and Gothamist housing reporter David Brand fills in for Janae Pierre and brings those concerns to Cea Weaver, director of the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants. They discuss how the administration is responding to both tenants and landlords, what it’s doing to keep New Yorkers from being priced out of their neighborhoods, and its plans for public housing and tenant ownership.
