We’re taking a major step toward ending deed theft with the creation of the Office of Deed Theft Prevention, a victory and turning point in our city’s history for Black homeowners. I remember the countless calls and texts with @nycmayor on the campaign trail pushing to create this office and today it’s finally a reality.

For decades, deed theft has gone unchecked, stealing Black homes, destabilizing families, and stripping generational wealth. Today, we are bringing the full force of city government to bear.

This victory was won in partnership with the People’s Coalition to @stopdeedtheft. This would not have been possible without the coalition. Thank you to @mr.judebernard and @thebrooklynbank for your advocacy for homeowners and for hosting us in your space. This sends a clear message: New York City will not allow displacement to continue. Not another Black home will be stolen. As long as I have power, every last breath will be used to ensure Black Brooklyn is never erased.

Some good news for once: The broker fee as we know it is likely over in New York City.

A City Council bill that would prevent your landlord from charging you the fee that their broker is actually charging them just passed after years of opposition from the real estate industry. The FARE (Fairness in Apartment Rentals) Act, which was first introduced by @ChiOsse in 2023, states that a landlord has to pay the fee for a broker who lists a unit for them and that brokers and landlords have to disclose any other fees to tenants up front. It sounds simple but it was actually extremely hard to get here. Also a good sign: As of Tuesday afternoon there were 33 co-sponsors and Ossé expects more will vote in support of the bill. A threshold of 34 makes it veto-proof.

Read about how council member Ossé got the bill through, and how this will affect your future apartment search, at the link in our bio.

Lower Manhattan: Vote @ryderfornewyork for State Assembly!
My official endorsement for NYS Assembly District 66.

I got arrested yesterday. Let’s talk about it.

Protestors congregated at the 79th Precinct station after Councilman @chiosse was slammed to the ground and arrested outside the home of Carmella Charrington on Jefferson Avenue earlier today.

As the councilman for the 36th District, Ossé represents Bed-Stuy and parts of northern Crown Heights, two neighborhoods acutely impacted by the development practice of “deed theft,” or illegally transferring property ownership without the owner’s consent, or even knowledge.
