Have you filled out the Activities Survey yet?

Online survey by Nick Youngson, creative commons license, Pix4free 

Please take a few moments to fill out the tenant association survey by JUNE 5, 2026 so we can create more activities that tenants want.  It should take you under 5 minutes!
You can click on the word "Survey" or click here: https://forms.gle/5977tFUUnmLaV2qc7 or on the QR code below. 

Tenants who aren't on our email list will get the form in paper.  (If you'd prefer it on paper, please tell Sue.)


HPD to change how it responds to tenant complaints!

Mayor Zohran Mamdani published a new housing plan, Block-by-Block. It includes changes to how - starting October 1, 2026 - HPD will respond to some tenant complaints.
  • Tenants will be able to reschedule code inspections
  • HPD will no longer just look at one apartment if there are several complaints from the same building about an issue like heat.
  • Owners are often allowed to self-certify that they've done the work HPD has required. Sometimes owners lie. Those owners will be put on a watch list. 
If you have friends in city-financed buildings,  the poorest will get their rents reduced from 1/3 of their income to 1/4 of their income.  (Those of us who lived in this building when it was under Mitchell-Lama paid 1/7 or 1/8 of our income!)
