This is remarkable: @NYSHCR is refusing to tell @housingrightsNY the names of landlords it is targeting as part of a compliance initiative with a popular NYC tax break, J-51, that requires landlord to limit rent increases on tenants: nydailynews.com/new-york/dhcr-…
Remarkable because @NewYorkStateAG had a similar compliance initiative for another tax break, 421-A, which also resulted in letters being sent to scofflaw landlords. Anyone remember this? propublica.org/article/landlo…
I filed a public records request w/ @NewYorkStateAG to see who they were targeting and got the list. So it's interesting to see another arm of NY state government argue that it can't disclose substantially the same information b/c it "would interfere with law enforcement"
Curious to see how this FOI fight will end #FOIAFriday
