New York Mayor Launches Rental Ripoff Hearings
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani held the first 'Rental Ripoff Hearings' Thursday night in Brooklyn, drawing hundreds of tenants to report junk fees, ignored repairs, and high rents across the city's 2.3 million rental units. Mamdani, who ordered the hearings after taking office in January, proposed a rent freeze for about 1 million rent-stabilized units and pitched a 12,000-home Sunnyside Yard project to President Trump.
