Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s 23-point rental reform agenda is beginning to move toward implementation, with housing officials preparing agency changes and City Hall opening talks over proposals requiring legislation, as landlord groups warn that new mandates and penalties could further strain rent-stabilized buildings.
The administration’s Rental Ripoff report does not send all 23 recommendations through the City Council. Instead, it calls for a mix of executive and agency action, formal rulemaking, legislation and legal action, with some measures scheduled to begin this fall and others expected to take several years.
