Council Member Sandy Nurse requests information on the types of housing where illegal evictions most commonly occur. HPD representatives are unable to provide immediate answers but promise to follow up with more data.

  • Question raised about whether illegal evictions occur more in larger multifamily rentals or smaller family rentals
  • HPD representatives acknowledge an interagency group is analyzing this data but don't have immediate answers
  • Discussion highlights the complexity of parsing this data due to the variance in housing stock ownership

I don't know if, the chair asked this, but I'll just ask it again because I can't remember.
0:52:49
Did you say where, illegal evictions and lockout most commonly occur?
0:52:54
Are they in bigger multifamily rentals, small families with a rental unit?
0:52:59
What what are the most common types of housing stock where these are happening?

Thank you, council member.
0:53:06
I don't think that question was asked before.
0:53:08
Okay.
0:53:08
And I know that there is an illegal eviction lockout group, across city agencies that is looking at the data.
0:53:16
I do not have that data though, so again, I apologize, but we can look at what information they have.
0:53:22
I am not sure that that is a distinction that they've made in their research, but we can look and provide you with an answer.
