Bill signed to shield NYC housing units from 'predatory' investors

(The Center Square) — Nonprofits and community groups in New York City will be given first crack at buying distressed multifamily buildings before they hit the private market, under a bill signed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday. The legislation, called the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, will give qualified entities — such as community land trusts and local development groups — the early option to bid on certain kinds of multifamily properties before they are put on the open market. Backers of the plan say it will prevent predatory investment groups from buying up properties and overcharging for rent. Under the new law, which goes into effect next November, bidders will have 20 days to express interest to the owner and the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and another 70 days to make a competitive offer. If that time period expires without a viable offer, the property will go on the market, according to the Mamdani administration. "This law will give New Yorkers a tool to keep their homes out of the hands of predatory investors seeking to make a quick and easy buck,” Mamdani, who campaigned on giving nonprofits the authorization to buy dilapidated buildings, told

NYC councilman pulls support from Mamdani-backed Amazon delivery bill due to potential job loss

A Democratic New York City Councilman quietly withdrew his support from the controversial, Mayor Zohran Mamdani-backed Delivery Protection Act aimed at cracking down on Amazon’s employment practices for “last-mile” delivery drivers — saying the legislation would lead to thousands of lost jobs, The Post has learned. Councilman Phil Wong of Queens recently removed his name as co-sponsor of the bill after meeting with small business owners who told him it would force them to shutter and lay off their employees. “I’ve been talking to many of the small businesses,” the pol, whose district covers Maspeth, Middle Village and other parts of Queens, told The Post on Monday. “If this bill gets passed, it will close a lot of them and that’s bad for my district.” NYC Councilman Phil Wong recently withdrew his support for the Delivery Protection Act. William Farrington for NY Post The councilman signed on as a co-sponsor of the bill when his far-left Queens colleague Tiffany Cabán introduced it in 2025. The legislation aims to end Amazon’s reliance on subcontractors by requiring the e-tail giant to get licenses for its 15 last-mile facilities in the city and hire delivery workers as full-timers. Other companies including FedEx would

NYC business leaders deride ‘delivery protection’ bill

(The Center Square) — New York City business leaders are urging Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the City Council to reject a bill to regulate Amazon and other delivery services, saying it would cost thousands of jobs and hurt the city's economy. The presidents of New York's five chambers of commerce wrote to Mamdani and Council Speaker Julie Menin on Monday warning that the legislation , if approved, would "wipe out" more than 100 locally-owned delivery companies and the full-time jobs they provide. The chambers estimated job losses of between 3,000 and 10,000 workers, "depending on how the industry responds." "It is unfathomable that the city would advance legislation that puts thousands of jobs and businesses at risk when we have other options in front of us," the presidents wrote. "The full consequences for New York City's workers, businesses, and economy are too significant to allow this bill to become law as is." The proposal, filed by Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán, a Queens Democrat, would require operators of "last-mile" warehouses and storage facilities to get licenses from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection and meet new safety, training and employment requirements, among other changes. It would ban major logistics and delivery
