The Mamdani administration has taken control of three residential buildings in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, removing them from landlords who had been found negligent in maintaining the properties. The move is part of a broader city effort to protect tenants living in buildings where owners have failed to address critical code violations, safety hazards, or other serious maintenance issues. By transferring management to the city, the administration aims to ensure that residents receive the repairs and services they have been owed while holding the previous owners accountable. The action underscores the administration's stated priority of aggressive tenant protection and landlord accountability in New York City.
