Digital Traces of the Predatory Landlord
Landlords of residential properties have unprecedented influence in New York City. A growing demand for apartments and a gradual weakening of tenant protection laws in New York have resulted in an immense financial incentive to displace rent-stabilized tenants by whatever means necessary. Regulators do not have the capacity to keep up, meaning that landlords are often not held accountable for the harm they cause through the predatory measures taken displace rent stabilized tenants.
Our Mission: use data to identify, characterize and hold to account New York City’s predatory landlords.
