Giving wealthy renters the ability to lawyer up against their landlords for leverage?

No way this’ll further jam up already backlogged housing courts or divert resources away from addressing the needs of low-income residents and affordable housing operators…

🎂FIVE YEARS of THE CITY, today!

This is a huge milestone, and I reflect on our work in the last 1/2 decade (!) I’m so proud that we’ve stayed true to our mission. None of us knew what we were getting into, but we were determined to dig deeper & be a true service for New York
