    In 2023, 230,000 housing units in NYC are unavailable for rent, marking a significant decrease from 353,000 units in 2021.

    • The decrease reflects a one-third reduction in unavailable units over two years.
    • Chief Research Officer Gaumer confirms the current total of unavailable units and highlights the improvement.
    • The discussion includes the analysis of both net changes in unavailable units and the tracking of specific units over time.
    • Despite the decrease, 230,000 unavailable units remain a substantial number, indicating ongoing challenges in housing availability.
    • The conversation reveals that 62% of the units that were offline in 2021 are now occupied, signaling progress towards greater occupancy rates.
