Who really wins when homeowners lose? This is the question New Yorkers should be asking as Local Law 18 continues to financially cripple thousands of private homeowners across our city.

This proposal isn’t just a step in the right direction—it’s a lifeline for working-class families and small communities struggling under the weight of this misguided law.
