Tenant complaints have surged 25% this year compared to last year in New York City, .. socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s twisted war to squeeze landlords — and seize private property — is escalating.
...
The city put us in a situation where they’re just slowly beating us to death and blaming us,” said Lincoln Eccles, who owns a 15-unit building in Crown Heights. “The apparatus of the government is geared to squeeze us.”
...
All of this tenant organizing is part of a long term project to take wealth away from people and redistribute it,” said Stu Smith, an investigative analyst with the Manhattan Institute. “They’re figuring out what pressure points they can act on to get their way.”
Complaints in Brooklyn — home to the “Commie Corridor,” a stretch of heavily Mamdani-supporting neighborhoods such as Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, Williamsburg and Greenpoint — are rising at the quickest pace.
So far this year, Brooklynites logged 169,675 complaints compared to 128,337 at the same time last year — 32% more than the same span in 2025,

Call 311,” Mamdani’s radical tenant advocate, Cea Weaver, who once declared property ownership a “weapon of white supremacy,”
...
Weaver, who once said “if you don’t believe in the government’s sacred right to seize private property, it’s over,” also boasted that HPD was beefing up its staffing.
...
Mamdani’s controversial Office of Mass Engagement has even gone canvassing with the Democratic Socialists of America to encourage tenants to “band together” against landlords, knocking on doors in Flatbush just last week.
...
“A fair and effective housing enforcement system should ensure that property owners are given reasonable opportunity to correct legitimate violations and weed out bogus tenant complaints. There also must be consequences for tenants who create the violations in the apartments, or report false complaints.”

Commies start trouble wherever there is freedom.
Richard J. Daley – He served as the 48th mayor of Chicago from 1955 until his death in 1976. Often called “the last of the big-city bosses,” he wielded immense power in local and national Democratic politics and spearheaded massive urban renewal projects.
Gee Moe who does that sound like?.
If MadNanny starts seizing property then I predict he will fall out of a window.
Will the last NYC new apartment house builder please pick up the white courtesy phone?
Some angry tenants want to bitch about you again and demand to know why no one is investing in apartments anymore?
After watching more than a few Sovereign Citizen traffic stops AND SovCit court hearings, one can see the methodology for remaining in a rental while paying no rent.
After enough months without receiving the rent, the landlord starts the eviction process. When it becomes serious, all of a sudden there is “black mold” “falling tiles” “no heat” etc. In some States, these “issues” put the eviction process on hold until fixed. The most ridiculous was a husband, wife, and three small children. They refused to leave a duplex that, according to the parents, was TOXIC for THEIR own children. The Judge was just shaking his head.
Mamdani’s new tenant advocate wants to seize private property .. Cea Weaver is a member of the Democrat Socialists of America, has claimed homeownership is a “weapon of white supremacy” and clamored to “seize private property. / constitutionally protected property rights ..

“Commies start trouble wherever there is freedom.”
Commies AND muslims. With Mamdani you get the daily double. I enjoy a huge amount of schadenfreude when I hear the complaints from NYC.
This endgame scheme is defined and obvious: Via city machinations, coerce housing property owners to sell cheaply to either city or to a 3rd party friend-of-the-city.
A reputable law firm should document the skullduggery and sue, all the way to the Supreme Court.
Germany under Hitler caused MANY Jews to sell properties at very low prices.
I could see Mad Nanny pinning Cea Weaver against the wall trying to molest her, except he pinned her against an open window and they both fell out. That is what happens in communist countries. It is so strange.
I predict a lot of burning buildings in NYC’s future.
After watching the movie Pacific Heights some 40 years ago, I swore I would never be a landlord.
“.. take wealth away from people and redistribute it,”..”
Says the Scorpion riding on the Alligators back.....
They voted for it.
Suckers.
Mamdani should face opposition.
Let’s all recall what Commies do about the right to buy a private home....
Doctor Zhivago....

When I was 18, I got to work for famous photographer at the Dem National Convention in Chicago. All kinds of powerful people were there,. Daley was by far the most powerful. I’ve met a lot of powerful people, including Charles Kettering who was running General Motors.
Daley was by far the most powerful, actually had a light around him you could see before you saw him. My dad had some dealings with him, had same impression.
BTW, I met Nixon AND JFK. NO COMPARISON. AND IF DEMS TODAY HAD ANYONE HALFWAY AS POWERFUL, THEY MIGHT NOT BE SUCH JERKS. WITH DAL;EY, COMPANIES THAT PAID GRAFT ACTUALLY GOT WHAT THEY PAID FOR. MY DAD HAD SEVERAL SHOPS IN “CHICAGO AND HIS SIDEWALKS WERE SHOVELED AND HIS TRUKS GOT THROUGH WHEN OTHERS WERE STOPPED BECAUSE O
OR DISAPPEAR DOWN A MANHOLE.
Communism’s main goal is taking collective possession of all property and the means of production.
Youse ain’t seen no Slumlord til youse see a Gobblemint Slumlord.
Those people are gonna rue the day. Of course, the city will lie in ruins, and will never be the same.
