I just would put on the record, I hope that, you know, considering at least in my experience, many lockouts happen outside of the hours, it would be really good for the city to consider expanding that to a 247 rapid response service.

What we were just one other question for the NYPD.
0:49:13
We weren't able to find the, to get that granular in terms of the data.
0:49:18
We know the date when calls are made or a summons or a ticket is issued, but we don't we don't have a sense of, like, the average hours.
0:49:26
So, if not today, if you could, in the follow-up, let us know, on average, when are you all getting, like, one of the highest calls for illegal evictions happening?
0:49:41
We can we've only been able to find the date.

Just a few more questions, Cheryl.
0:49:47
I'll wrap it up.

So on 6/23, which I think is to me the more important bill because we really know that the intervention on the ground is, as we mentioned, is extremely challenging.
0:50:02
There's a lot of different factors.
0:50:04
There's a lot of discretion at play.
0:50:06
We don't have clear cut criteria identified.
0:50:10
So on the back end, we're trying to say, you know, if you do this, it's gonna be extremely costly to you and you could potentially miss out on other opportunities.

Currently, property owners who are found guilty of illegal lockouts are fined between a1000 to to and 10,000 per violation.
0:50:28
How often are these fines issued and collected, and kind of what pot do they go into?
