Roberts argues the proposed legislation would be detrimental to security and affordability of rent stabilized housing.

  • He states the bill is punitive to tenants and workers in rent stabilized housing.
  • Rent stabilized buildings lack financial resources to hire full-time doormen.
  • The bill broadly bans technology to establish individual identity like virtual doorman systems.
  • This would deprive rent stabilized tenants and workers of affordable security measures.
