PUBLICATIONS:
A VOICE AT CITY HALL: HOW NYC'S BUDGET WORKS AND WHAT YOUR
COMMUNITY CAN DO ABOUT IT.
By Anne Pasmanick and John Broderick $3.00
This manual is a guide for neighborhood leaders and community
groups to New York City's budget-adoption process. It explains
the process and players involved, and the ways that community
groups can organize to influence how city dollars are spent. (23
pages.)
RENT REGULATION IN NEW YORK CITY: A BRIEFING BOOK
By September Jarrett and Michael McKee $5.00
What role has rent regulation played in New York City's housing
crisis? This study concludes: "Though the system has problems,
tenants are much better off under rent regulation than they would
be otherwise, and the public interest of New York City is
served." This report is a thorough exploration of the purposes,
limits and effectiveness of rent regulation. Includes a chapter
that dispels common myths about rent laws, and provides a history
of city and state rent regulations. (50 pages.)
UNRAVELING THE MYTHS: CO-OP CONVERSION IN NEW YORK CITY 1987-1990
By Jocelyne Chait $10.00
Despite promises of extending the American Dream of home
ownership to moderate income New Yorkers, conversion of rental
buildings to co-operatives has not been without some serious
problems. Weak conversion laws, overmortgaging by lenders and
sponsors and rampant speculation have resulted in many troubled
buildings. Tenants and individual shareholders have been the
most adversely affected. This comprehensive exploration of New
York City's co-operative housing boom discusses legislative
changes that could prevent another wave of "counterfeit co-ops."
(131 pages.)
HOUSING COURT, EVICTIONS AND HOMELESSNESS: THE COST AND BENEFITS
OF ESTABLISHING A RIGHT TO COUNSEL
Published by CTRC and
the City-Wide Task Force on Housing Court $2.50
This study argues that the cost of providing shelter to homeless
families is far above what it would cost to provide legal counsel
to all eligible tenants in housing court. The right to counsel
would keep people in their apartments and out of city shelters,
resulting in cost savings and a more humane housing policy. Also
provides demographic information about litigants in housing
court. (38 pages.)
