NYC has 1000’s of empty apartments. You’ll never guess why.
About this episode
The episode discusses New York City's housing crisis and the legal challenges surrounding vacant rent stabilized apartments.
New York City is in a housing crisis—and according to official statistics, roughly 26,000 rent stabilized apartments sit vacant. That’s because New York City law makes many units unprofitable to rent. Today, we’re talking about IJ’s new federal challenge focused on vacant units—not occupied apartments—and what it could mean for property rights and renters.  Today we’re joined by IJ attorneys Suranjan Sen and Will Aronin.  https://youtu.be/8haAMezEe0M
