Since January 1, we have won more than $34 million in settlements, judgments and repairs for tenants, delivered improvements to 6,070 apartments so far and issued 195,829 violations. New York City will no longer tolerate exploitation as a business model. We have held rental rip off hearings across the five boroughs and heard from more than 60 New Yorkers. Because the same tenants who have been overlooked by our politics will now be at the heart of our policies. As we protect the tenants of today, we must also build for tomorrow. (06:30–06:37)
