NEW YORKERS BEWARE….
Though there is a ‘housing crisis’ in our city, the Real Estate laws favor the tenants and or residents. If you’re not sure what to do visit the DOH Office in FiDi, downtown Manhattan. The NYC government is constatntly seeking to secure the public rights and create more favorable terms and living conditions. If you feel cheated and you’re unsure ask. You can take this to the bank:

Mayor Bill de Blasio is considering a shift in his administration’s housing policy toward 100-percent market-rate buildings on unused land owned by the cash-strapped New York City Housing Authority.

“This office has zero tolerance for predatory landlords who seek to line their pockets at the expense of their tenants’ well-being,” said Attorney General Barbara Underwood.

Da BOOGIEDOWN BRONX…

Bronx Living and Culture
Today, The Bronx has a very diverse population.



The fourth-largest and the northernmost of the five boroughs of New York City, The Bronx is home to 1.4 million residents. Spread out over about 42 square miles, it sits just above Manhattan and is situated mostly on the mainland. Divided by the Bronx River, the borough has two distinct sections – a hilly urban area in the west, and a much flatter, suburban-like portion in the coastal east.
