REALTORS® Testify At DOS Hearing On Cease And Desist Zones In Brooklyn – Submit Comment Today
REALTORS® testified at a public hearing held last week in Brooklyn by the Department of State to discuss whether there is a need for additional cease and desist zones to address repeated real estate solicitations. The Department of State held a similar hearing in January where Brooklyn REALTORS® testified in opposition to any additional cease and desist zones. NYSAR opposes the measure and has expressed its concerns to the Department of State on the negative impacts cease and desist zones have on law-abiding licensed real estate professionals. REALTORS® living and working in Brooklyn are encouraged to submit your own written comment opposing any new cease and desist zones by emailing the Department of State at brooklynceaseanddesist@dos.ny.gov. To read NYSAR’s full testimony, click HERE.
