Nearly a million apartments are already renewing at zero. A judge now decides whether that holds.
Landlords who own rent-stabilized buildings asked Judge Brendan Lantry on Wednesday to void the Rent Guidelines Board's June freeze, arguing the outcome was decided before the hearings began; the board's lawyers said the vote rested on its own cost and rent-burden research. [52] The board is nine mayoral appointees, and the challenge runs under Article 78, which asks only whether a public body had a rational basis for what it did, not whether it was right (Brick Underground). Lantry pressed both sides on a narrower point: whether the board ever wrote down how it weighed the data. [52]
“Why is this year different from every other year? They left landlords to drown.”
“There are arguments that are based upon the law, and there are arguments based on innuendo.”
“There was no order in that meeting whatsoever.”
The rooms that turn grid voltage into third-rail power went uninspected 19% of the time, the year one of them blew up.
The MTA Inspector General audited NYC Transit's more than 200 substations after a December 2024 short-circuit explosion on State Street in Downtown Brooklyn blew a door off its hinges and stranded riders underground. [53][54] Those substations step high-voltage grid power down to the 625 volts the contact rail needs to move a train (nycsubway.org); when they fail, service does. Auditors also found workers skipping required protective gear and ignoring fire-alarm trouble signals, and said the agency handed the post-blast damage assessment to an assistant chief trained as a carpenter. [53]
“The Brooklyn substation explosion exposed serious gaps in maintenance and oversight that could put the public and NYC Transit employees at risk.”
“Missed inspections of power substations are unacceptable and leadership of the Power Division has been restructured.”
GothamistFifteen screens and the East Side's only IMAX are set to go dark, and the landlord is a hospital.
AMC Kips Bay 15 at 570 Second Avenue is expected to close by year's end after the property owner, NYU Langone Health, ended the lease early. [76] Seven elected officials and nine block and tenant associations have written to the hospital asking it to preserve the theater and the Fairway in the same complex, and say they got no notice of the purchase. [76][108] NYU Langone has not publicly said what it plans for the site, though a 2024 brochure marketed the roughly 193,000-square-foot property for medical use, and no rezoning application has been identified. [108]
“Right now, families and senior citizens and teenagers can walk down the block and enjoy The Odyssey or Spider-Man and not have to travel across town to busier and more congested theaters.”
“When a major institution becomes a property owner in a residential neighborhood, it also becomes a neighbor.”

Mariano Rivera spent 19 seasons closing games a short walk from the Bronx Terminal Market, and last week he came back to that block to sell habanero hot sauce out of a Food Bazaar. The line was full of people who grew up watching him. Henry Diaz told the Bronx Times he isn't even a hot sauce guy: "I'm not even a hot sauce person, but since it's him I'll give it a try. I hope I don't burn my mouth too much." Rivera, whose recipe comes from his hometown of Puerto Caimito, Panama, put it plainly. "The Bronx is my house." [77]
