Putting Local Law 1 into action - inspection of vacant apartments

With the sponsorship of Council Members Carlina Rivera and Gale Brewer, we won passage of Local Law 1 of 2024. That law requires landlords to keep vacant apartments in good repair.  It also allows neighbors to call 311 to get inspections of those apartments whose hazardous conditions affect them.  

BUT the City's Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD) has NOT implemented the bill yet.  Despite an 8-month delay to get funding and set things up, tenants still cannot call 311 and ask for an inspection of vacant units near them. 

So, come to a 

RALLY 

with Council Members 

on 

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10 at 10:30 AM 

at City Hall to 

Demand Local Law 1 of 2024 Go Into Effect. 

Rally to get City to implement Local Law 1!
