I'm announcing a plan to overhaul the mayor's office to protect tenants bringing code enforcement Under One Roof and making sure that agencies are working together to hold bad landlords accountable

starting on day one we will expand the city's special enforcement programs

  • doubling fines for hazardous violations
  • tripling them for conditions that are immediately dangerous

when a really bad landlord like this guy refuses to fix it the city's going to step in make the repairs and send them the bill

if that doesn't work the city's taking over the building

we're putting the worst landlords out of business

and we're going to transform 3-1-1 by bringing the latest and cutting edge Technology: scheduling appointments with inspectors so you actually know when they're showing up to your apartment

and the best part you're [landlords] going to pay for this

but actually bad landlords are going to pay for this

we're going to fund this expanded enforcement in the most obvious Way by actually collecting the fines and enforcing the violations the Adams Administration has spent 4 years ignoring

everybody says housing is a human right let's start acting like it
