Northern Manhattan Tenants’ Forum Tonight!
Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez will host a Tenant’s Forum along with NYS Senator Adriano Espaillat, NYS Assembly Woman Gabriela Rosa, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation and Washington Heights Inwood Coalition tonight to address needs, concerns and questions that local residents have about housing and living conditions. Representatives of HPD will be on hand to discuss information on housing repairs, the housing court process, rent subsidies, how to track complaints and tenants’ rights. Information provided at this forum will provide tenants with the legal information and confidence to stand up to landlords who use illegal practices to push tenants out so that they can raise rent prices.
In a community where many residents have issues with their landlords, whether it be delayed repairs, harassment, lack of heating or other utilities or structural problems due to illegal construction, this forum gives the community a chance to address these important issues with the City’s housing regulatory agency. Other topics to be addressed include management of electricity bills, what to do if you have bedbugs, how to apply for section 8, and information on housing lotteries and benefits for seniors.
