Far-left members of the City Council want to make Big Apple landlords do their work for them — or face five-figure fines.Under the bill, introduced last week by, landlords would be required to supply new and existing tenants with hard-copy notices listing the names, office addresses and phone contacts for all federal, state and city pols representing their neighborhoods.
“The idea is really to empower tenants to know how they can access information,” Gutiérrez told The Post. “I think a lot of folks maybe are interpreting this as like we are pushing tenants to file complaints [against landlords], and that is not the case. This is really about ensuring every tenant has access to resources that they should have.”The progressive Democrat also claimed that many of her constituents in Williamsburg and other parts of North Brooklyn don’t have Internet access.
“I understand why some people are like, ‘What? A $10,000 fine for a small owner?’ That’s a lot,” added Gutiérrez, who noted she’s willing to listen to landlords’ concerns and potentially seek to lower the fines. “I can totally empathize with that, but the idea is we want more thoughtfulness from landlords as they rent out to folks.
“But don’t worry if I get my way every single renter will know exactly who their elected official is and every single thing they are doing to make their housing worse,” he quipped.
