There are 100,000 mothball departments that exist in New York City 6,000 in NYCHA. The mayor controls that. How could you have 6,000 empty apartments in NYCHA? 28,000 subsidized rent control. The landlords have to be convinced that if they have a tenant who must go, can go in tenant landlord court. and then in the outer boroughs, nobody pays attention to that.
