City Hall claimed an early win in a legal battle challenging Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s promised rent freeze, with a judge ruling that the suit was filed in the wrong borough. That means the suit will have to be moved from Staten Island to Manhattan and puts on pause a further hearing on the actual issues at hand — including efforts by landlord and tenant supporting parties to join the suit. 4 The city got an early win Friday in a legal battle challenging the Rent Guideline Board’s decision to issue a two-year rent freeze this June.
