">Brooklyn Tenants Launch Rent Strike
- Housing
- 4 days ago
Tenants of Homewood Gardens in East Flatbiush, Brooklyn have announced a rent strike, accusing court-appointed property managers of failing to address worsening living conditions during the property’s ongoing bankruptcy case. Residents say they have endured years of inadequate heat and hot water, pest infestations, leaks, and structural deterioration, with conditions becoming especially severe during the winter after a new boiler was allegedly not installed. At a press conference outside 651 Brooklyn Avenue, tenants joined elected officials and advocates in calling for immediate repairs, stronger tenant protections, and long-term preservation of the property for current residents.

">Chris Banks Law Aims to Prevent Evictions

- 5 days ago
New York City Council Deputy Leader Chris Banks announced that Local Law 155 of 2025 officially went into effect on May 8, alongside the launch of a new educational social media campaign designed to inform residents about the law’s protections for emergency assistance grant applicants. The legislation creates digital notification requirements for both applicants and landlords when emergency housing assistance grants are approved, helping to prevent evictions caused by delayed or lost mail. The law was inspired by a constituent in Brooklyn’s 42nd Council District who was evicted after a grant payment check never reached her landlord.
