Speaker Menin presses HPD for rent increase data requested in June 25 letter

So I'm just going to go jump right into my questions.

We sent a letter on June 25th.

And so I'd like to just get an update on some of the questions that we asked in that letter.

First and foremost, to provide a comprehensive list of city-run Mitchell Lama developments and the rent increases they have incurred over the past 10 years and the proposed upcoming rent increases.

So I think it would be easiest for us to supply that information after the hearing.

It's a very long list with a long schedule of increases.

No, no, that's the purpose of this hearing.

The purpose of the hearing is to go on the record and to talk about which buildings are getting a rent increase.

I mean, look, we know about Tracy Towers, but we're hearing from Mitchell Lama residents throughout the city who are saying they're getting a rent increase.

So that's the whole purpose of this hearing.

So we want that.

Being discussed now.

Great.

If you can just give us a second to go through our files.

Sure, absolutely.

So we'll work on, as the hearing's going on, if you don't mind, we can work on putting the list together and then report back later in the hearing.

I mean, I do just want to say we never received a response to our letter, and this hearing is upcoming.

We are not asking some surprise question.

This is literally something we asked on June 25th, and that you all should be prepared to be providing to us.

Understood.
