""The Bronx, to this day, has buildings that are almost 100 percent - if not 100 percent - regulated. And those are the buildings that are struggling the most, that have the highest violation counts.""
""I do this work because I know I'm right, and I know that we are on a path to destroy the housing people live in.""
Kenny Burgos argues that nearly a million rent-stabilized apartments in New York require rent increases to remain habitable. He points out that many buildings in the Bronx are heavily regulated and struggle with high violation counts. Burgos, a former assemblyman and CEO of the New York Apartment Association, acknowledges that his views are unpopular, especially with the current mayor's promise to freeze rents. He believes that without changes, the housing conditions will deteriorate further.
