Randy Mastro | Attorney Using the Courtroom to Fight Back Against Madmani's Socialist Policies
Sep 3, 2026 · 17m
Summary
Sid discusses with attorney Randy Mastro two major lawsuits against the NYC administration. Mastro challenges the pied-à-terre surcharge rollout, arguing the city illegally shifted the burden of proof to homeowners and sent erroneous notices. He also contests the Rent Guidelines Board’s historic zero-percent rent freeze, claiming it ignores landlord costs and violates statutory mandates. Mastro expects rulings on both cases by September.
