NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a record-breaking $2.1 million settlement with A&E Real Estate, forcing repairs to 4,000 building code violations across 14 buildings in three boroughs. A&E accumulated 140,000 total violations—including 35,000 in 2025 alone—affecting 750 tenants. Tenant Diana De La Paz testified about elevators broken for months, trapping elderly and disabled residents, an 84-year-old neighbor who died during a heat wave, no heat in winter, and pest infestations. HPD Commissioner Dina Levy confirms this is the largest settlement in agency history and warns the city can seize buildings from negligent landlords. Mamdani, sworn in 16 days ago, is using housing enforcement to define his progressive administration. Settlement includes injunctions preventing tenant harassment. A&E claims they're "investing in repairs" despite record violations. Mamdani announces "rental ripoff hearings" in all five boroughs within 100 days to identify worst landlords and shape enforcement policy.
