Hundreds of New York City tenants vented their housing grievances at Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s first “rental ripoff” hearing on Thursday — but remain dubious that their landlord woes will be fixed. Roughly 500 tenants signed up to speak one-on-one with Mamdani’s controversial tenant advocate, Cea Weaver, and volunteers from several other city agencies to vocalize ongoing housing and landlord disputes at the Downtown Brooklyn hearing. Weaver began the “rental ripoff” hearing — which was slammed by New York City Housing Authority residents for largely excluding them — by listing notable discussion points for tenants to voice to city advocates, including rental junk fees for amenities including keeping pets and code enforcement issues.
