“Fighting bad landlords, standing up for working New Yorkers and protecting rent regulated apartments is not only our priority, it’s our mission,” said HPD Commissioner Adolfo Carrion, in a statement. “The work of identifying where we should be putting our resources, especially at a time where we’re seeing tenants coming to the city, saying that they need help, they need our support, that kind of information is invaluable both from a qualitative and a quantitative approach,” Tigani told amNewYork Metro in an interview.
“Broadly speaking, we’re looking for folks who have had experience in doing this work, coordinating coalition work, working with tenants, [who are] familiar with the issues of rent stabilization from a policy side, from an organizing side, from the tenant’s perspective,” Tigani said. “And [groups who] want to work, know how to work, leveraging both legal, public communication and other soft skills in improving conditions.
Tigani said the agency selected those areas based on its own risk models and data that point to where issues among rent-regulated tenants are most at risk of displacement throughout the five boroughs. But, he said, HPD is also seeking suggestions from nonprofits applying for the contract on other neighborhoods it could consider extending the initiative to.
Juanita Lewis, CVH’s executive director, said they also worked with HPD to door-knock in rent-stabilized buildings — where tenants were facing issues with their gas lines, getting repairs and rent increases — with the goal of connecting them to legal services.
