Rent Regulations in New York: How They’ll Affect Tenants and Landlords

The changes would be sweeping, covering everything from security deposits to apartment upgrades.

By Sharon Otterman and Matthew Haag-NY Times    9/12/19

 

Democratic lawmakers in New York harnessed their new powers on Tuesday to broker sweeping changes to rent laws in order to protect tenants in a state with some of the country’s most expensive housing markets.

The regulations that lawmakers agreed upon would stretch beyond New York City to the entire state, allowing other municipalities to enact their own rules to keep apartments affordable.

Both chambers of the State Legislature are expected to vote on the new package this week, before the current set of regulations are set to expire on Saturday.

Unlike previous regulations, which had to be renewed once they expired, the new rules would be permanent. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat, has pledged to sign whatever bill lawmakers pass.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said on a press call today that he would not allow indoor dining to return in New York City unless local politicians devoted significant police resources to enforcing social distancing and other reopening conditions.

 

Albany Andy passing the blame again.

 

So N.Y.C. is defunding police and he insists they take 4000 cops off the street to be restaurant monitors.

 

He and deBlasio, in less than a year, have returned N.Y.C. to the Hellhole it was in the '70's and 80's.

63% of New York restaurants could close over coronavirus losses: Report

Only 36.4% of respondents said they were ‘likely or somewhat likely’ to stay open

By Ann SchmidtFOXBusiness

 

New York restaurants are in trouble, according to a new report.

 

On Thursday, the New York State Restaurant Association published the results of a survey that found the state’s restaurants are in need of financial support from the government after months of closures during the coronavirus pandemic.

 

According to the survey, 63.6% of restaurants in New York said they are “likely to close by the end of the year” without a relief package and only 36.4 percent said they are “likely or somewhat likely to remain open.”

 

Of the 63.6% that are likely to close in 2020, 54.8% said they will close before November, the restaurant association found.

lol....I was in the city enough in the 80s and 90s to appreciate some of the gritty old-style NYC, though I didn’t really know the city well until I started working there in 2000.  At the time it was pretty exciting.

Of course, the DNC Times falls all over itself justifying the crime surge and the current NYC leadership.

 

"Oh, crime is always higher in the summer!"

"Oh, crime was much worse in the '90s!!"  (they forgot to mention that was the last time the left was running NYC)

"Oh, it's COVID's fault!   Which of course is Trump's fault!"

"Oh, it's the cops' fault!"

"Oh, percentages are misleading!"

 

But not a single word about policy coming from city gov't.

Cuomo says Trump 'caused' New York coronavirus outbreak

 

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo claimed Tuesday that President Trump “caused” the coronavirus outbreak in New York by not banning travel from Europe sooner -- the latest in an escalation of words between the politicians.

 

"Donald Trump caused the COVID outbreak in New York,” Cuomo said during a press briefing. “That is a fact. It’s a fact that he admitted, and the CDC admitted, and Fauci admitted.”

 

“In mid-March the federal government does the travel ban from Europe,” the Democratic governor said. “Too little too late, Mr. President.” He called Trump’s CDC, National Institutes of Health and Department of Homeland Security “incompetent.”

 

“The virus killed many more Americans than anything you were worried about on the southern border,” he said. “This nation loses more people per day to COVID than any nation on the globe.”

 

“You know who did that? Donald Trump’s incompetence,” he added. “And now, they won’t provide federal funding to help repair the damage from the ambush they created.”

 

Cuomo added that Trump is “trying to kill” New York City, pointing to a cap in SALT deductions from the Trump tax cuts.

Senate GOP unveils slimmed-down coronavirus bill, with McConnell pushing for vote this week

 

New plan expected to cost $500 billion, compared to the House's $3 trillion plan

 

The bill includes an extra $300 per week in unemployment benefits through Dec. 27 -- down from the $600 weekly boost that expired at the end of July -- a second round of Paycheck Protection Program funds to small businesses worth $258 billion, $105 billion for schools and colleges, and McConnell's liability protection plan that would limit lawsuits against businesses from employees or customers who contract COVID-19.

Cuomo isn't eyeing 2024, his focus is on 2021. It's a reach for more reasons than one, but if Biden wins, and the Dems retain the House, he is hoping to be selected as the new VP when Joe ultimately resigns.\

'Play it down': Trump admits to concealing the true threat of coronavirus in new Woodward book

 

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump admitted he knew weeks before the first confirmed US coronavirus death that the virus was dangerous, airborne, highly contagious and "more deadly than even your strenuous flus," and that he repeatedly played it down publicly, according to legendary journalist Bob Woodward in his new book "Rage."

 

"This is deadly stuff," Trump told Woodward on February 7.

 

In a series of interviews with Woodward, Trump revealed that he had a surprising level of detail about the threat of the virus earlier than previously known. "Pretty amazing," Trump told Woodward, adding that the coronavirus was maybe five times "more deadly" than the flu.

Trump's admissions are in stark contrast to his frequent public comments at the time insisting that the virus was "going to disappear" and "all work out fine."

 

The book, using Trump's own words, depicts a President who has betrayed the public trust and the most fundamental responsibilities of his office. In "Rage," Trump says the job of a president is "to keep our country safe." But in early February, Trump told Woodward he knew how deadly the virus was, and in March, admitted he kept that knowledge hidden from the public.

"I wanted to always play it down," Trump told Woodward on March 19, even as he had declared a national emergency over the virus days earlier. "I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic."

 

If instead of playing down what he knew, Trump had acted decisively in early February with a strict shutdown and a consistent message to wear masks, social distance and wash hands, experts believe that thousands of American lives could have been saved.

 

The startling revelations in "Rage," which CNN obtained ahead of its September 15 release, were made during 18 wide-ranging interviews Trump gave Woodward from December 5, 2019 to July 21, 2020. The interviews were recorded by Woodward with Trump's permission, and CNN has obtained copies of some of the audio tapes.
