“My house gets flooded every single year,” 16-year old Diana Ramirez told City Limits, one of many New York City youth who took to the streets in the lead up to Earth Day to demand people in power stop funding fossil fuels. “The rising sea levels and flooding caused by climate change are affecting me heavily.”
From “good cause” carve outs to adjusted IAI caps, City Limits breaks down how major planks of the state budget deal will impact tenants’ eviction protections—and rents.
“Both city and state governments must extend their efforts beyond the final budget deal, recognizing that tenants’ well-being is intertwined with the physical and financial stability of their homes and addressing root causes rather than assigning blame.”
“As a voice and advocate for my community, including my neighbors, friends and residents, it is important for me to ensure that their concerns and questions are resolved.”
En los dos últimos años, más de 189.200 inmigrantes han llegado a la ciudad de Nueva York y unos 64.400 están actualmente al amparo de la ciudad; de ellos, aproximadamente el 17 por ciento proceden de países africanos, según la alcaldía.

During the last two years, over 189,200 migrants have come to New York City and about 64,400 are currently under the city’s care; of those, roughly 17 percent are from African countries, according to City Hall.
Viewed in isolation, a proposal to exempt small residential portfolios from new eviction protections could exclude hundreds of thousands of New York City apartments. Perhaps more significantly, this type of estimate isn’t easy to make.
“The 60-day shelter limit runs counter to the very purpose of shelters: to keep vulnerable homeless families and individuals safe and off the streets.”
