Democratic mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani voiced confidence Monday he would, if elected, be able to enact a rent freeze for New York City’s stabilized tenants next year — even if Mayor Adams pulls off a last-minute maneuver that could complicate the move.
Late last week, news broke that Adams is likely to make a string of new appointments to the city’s Rent Guidelines Board before he leaves office at the end of the year. The board sets the rates landlords can increase rent by on stabilized tenants.
Sources briefed on the decision confirmed to the Daily News that Adams would make the new appointments with the idea that his picks could vote against Mamdani’s push for the board to enact a freeze on rent hikes on the roughly 2 million New Yorkers living in stabilized housing.
