I have to say "Democrap 4 life" was right on the money

As a NYC master plumber and a master fire suppression contractor I have found working with the newest changes in the plumbing codes to be a challenge to say the least

The older code 1968 was a pleasure to work with as everything needed was in one code book.

Building owners not able to charge enough to cover expenses then find they cannot maintain their investment. It is ironic how someone invests to build or buy a building and the building department, housing authority ,fire department all have regulations and then some politicians put a cap on how much the building owner can charge in rent

It cost a fortune to heat a building and maintain the heating system properly. The cost of water and sewer has increased dramatically as has real estate taxes and all buildings need to be maintained

I had an account in Manhattan 1650 3rd ave in the 1980's most of the apartments were being rented for over $1,200 a month except a few "rent controlled" that tenants paid less then $200 per month. how can a b building owner have porters, a superintendent, use licensed and insured contractors and told how much they can get back on their investment

We see the condition of most city housing developments and how many need upgrades but their is no funding available do to the low rents they receive

When I did new construction for the Stagg group including the apartment building where the old Riverdale press was Mark Stagg was already having reps meet with local officials to see about set aside apartments for lower income residents.

If landlords are willing to invest in NYC as we did on 44 Leight street some of the apartments went over 9 million each it actually brings more income to NYC then building no income housing units

Personally I like the idea of CO Ops or condos where people have to buy in as once someone owns they normally take much better care then someone who just rents

Regarding the local assemblyman what others have said are are just to kind as he is even worse then what others said about him
