From the Front Lines of the NYC Harassment Housing Wars

Tenant Harassment Made Possible by the Innumerable Failures of the Executive Branches of NYS & NYC Government

Updated August 25, 2025 v. July 14, 2025 / Bastille Day / New York NY / NYC Landlord Tenant Harassment / News Analysis & Opinion / Queens Buzz.

Editor's Note I. We've been tracking a tenant who has been harassed by his landlords for the past nine years. We intend to include video, audio and photographic accounts of his experiences in this section, to show you, the viewers, first hand, what landlords in this city are doing to their tenants and getting away.

Both the NYC Mayor and the NYS Governor continue to fail, to right these wrongs. Based on what we've seen, it's not so much problems with the laws on the books, but the incredible lack of will to enforce them. We believe the Mayor and the Governor don't enforce the landlord harassment laws because the land owners control the government of NYC and NYS through the officials they fund to get elected. The funds go largely into disinformative TV ads used to convince voters that they, the pols, are working for us. But they are not - and Eric Adams is the perfect example of this - he's working for the rich people who have funded his campaigns. That's why Eric is always smiling, because he's been pulling a fast one on us and getting away with it ... at least so far. Cuomo isn't much different, as you will soon see.

Introduction to Landlord Harassment of Tenants in Rent Stabilized Apartments in NYC

This Section is dedicated to helping New York voters understand how the executive branches of NYS and NYC government are failing New Yorkers every day with respect to preservation of truly affordable housing, and the taxpayers' billions of investments in such.

This in depth report will show how the executive branches government - both Mayor and Governor - are almost entirely responsible for the phony 'NYC affordable housing crisis'. It's a crisis which they have created, which they prolong, and which they use to keep shaking down taxpayers for more and more money to give the billionaires, real estate developers and investors who provide funding for their campaigns [directly or indirectly via PAC spending].

A great deal of their campaign money goes into paying for disinformative Network TV commercials to convince voters that good candidates are bad, and bad candidates are good. And Network TV News and programs too often seem to support the false narratives by ignoring the real stories, ignoring who the pols really are, or just plain ignoring competing candidates. This is why competitive candidates, like Mamdani and AOC, need to bypass billionaire TV News, and use the web to reach voters - because billionaire TV News is trying to muzzle their voices and those they represent.

This will be a running commentary that will soon get started and likely run well into 2026, possibly longer. Stay tuned. I'm nearly certain you will find this an interesting ride.
