Overview
- The administration’s second night of hearings in Long Island City features 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. sessions that are already at capacity.
- Next hearings are scheduled in Fordham on March 11, East Harlem on March 28 and Staten Island’s North Shore on April 7, with registration and online submissions at nyc.gov/RentalRipoff.
- Turnout has been strong, including more than 200 residents at last week’s Brooklyn session sharing accounts of unheated apartments and broken plumbing.
- Some NYCHA residents say they were not directly invited and have launched their own meetings, following a Bronx gathering with another set for Harlem on Thursday.
- A City Hall spokesperson says no one will be turned away and the mayor’s office will add NYCHA-focused outreach, as tenants detail unresolved repairs, pests and heating problems dating back years.
