NYC Mayor Eric Adams floated the idea of paying local residents and landlords to house illegal immigrants this afternoon.
Adams already has a plan to house illegal immigrants in houses of worship:
“It is my vision to take the next step to this faith-based locales and then move to a private residence” Hizzoner said Monday during a City Hall press conference.“We can take that $4.2 billion — $4.3 [billion] maybe now — that we anticipate we have to spend and we can put it back in the pockets of everyday, everyday houses of worship instead of putting it in the pockets of corporations.”“We should be recycling our own dollars,” he added.Adams said moving migrants into private homes is the next step in the administration’s blueprint to house the crush of homeless individuals, after unveiling a new plan to house single migrant men in 50 churches, mosques and other houses of worship across the five boroughs.He acknowledged that City Hall would need to get over a “30 day rule” but would not elaborate on the rule or the necessary logistics to implement the plan.
Here is the 30 day rule regarding short-term rentals:
The law does not change the existing criteria that govern the legality of short-term rentals. Hosts (whether owners or tenants) cannot rent out an entire apartment or home to visitors for fewer than 30 days, even if the host owns or lives in the building. This applies to all permanent residential buildings regardless of the number of units. Short-term rentals are only permitted if the host is staying in the same unit or apartment as the guests, and there are no more than two guests staying with the host. All other laws relating to the use of the space must also be followed (i.e. no sleeping in an area where it would be illegal to do so, such as an attic, cellar, or garage).The law limits registration to people that occupy a unit of housing, and prohibits OSE [Office of Special Enforcement] from granting a registration for certain types of units, such as rent-regulated and NYCHA [New York City Housing Authority] units. The law also requires registration requests to be denied for buildings on a prohibited buildings list, which will be created by owners who notify OSE that short-term rentals are not allowed in their buildings.
Before you take a handout, please remember that a landlord or owner cannot change the locks and evict the tenant if the tenant has “lived in the home for more than 30 days.”
A Marshal, Sheriff, or Constable can evict the tenant after the landlord wins “a judgment against” the tenant.
Texas has sent illegal immigrants to New York City for over a year since Adams declared it a sanctuary city.
The city has received over 72,000 people during that time.
NYC is busting at the seams:
“We need to be clear, this is not sustainable with the inflow that we’re receiving,” a desperate Adams explained.The mayor said the city will work to “find a way” to get around city government rules that typically bar the city from housing homeless people in private homes.
