Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced New York City's Unified Court System will fast-track emergency housing court cases involving vacate orders and violations. Mamdani stated that landlords unable to comply with housing regulations "should not be a landlord," according to his announcement. The fast-track process applies to cases where tenants face eviction or where properties have violations on record. The initiative aims to accelerate resolution of these cases through the court system.
