Take Action - Urge State Lawmakers to OPPOSE ‘Good Cause’ Eviction Legislation
On Thursday, the Appellate Division of the state Supreme Court ruled to uphold a lower court’s decision to overturn the City of Albany’s local “good cause” eviction law, finding that such protections can only be approved at the state level. Following this decision, state lawmakers are considering including these additional eviction protections in the state budget. NYSAR is actively opposing statewide “good cause” eviction legislation along with a coalition of other real estate related organizations, called “Homeowners for an Affordable New York.” You can make your voice heard by visiting the coalition’s Call for Action website HERE and urge state lawmakers to oppose “good cause” eviction legislation.
NYSAR Submits Testimony Opposing NYC Bill Restricting Free Market Sale of Multi-Family Properties
On February 23, NYSAR submitted formal testimony before the New York City Council in opposition to legislation (Int. 196) that would establish a right of first opportunity to purchase for not-for-profit organizations on buildings with 3 or more units prior to its listing for sale. Property owners of these buildings would be required to notify NYC HPD at least 180 days prior to any actions taken to sell the building. Once the notice of sale is provided, the bill would also establish a 120-day period in which qualified not-for-profit entities may submit offers to purchase the building, during which time, the property owner may not accept any other offers. The bill greatly impairs the ability of REALTORS® to effectively and efficiently serve consumers looking to buy and sell multifamily properties in New York City. To read NYSAR’s full testimony, click HERE and respond to NYSAR’s Call for Action if you are a NYC resident.
