Mayor Eric Adams and New York Attorney General Letitia James recently announced a settlement against the owners of a building in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, for illegally evicting tenants in 2020 and running an unlawful short-term rental operation for four years across nine Brooklyn buildings. The $2.25 million settlement is the largest monetary award the city has ever received from a case against an illegal short-term rental operator, and the case represents the city’s first-ever enforcement of the “Unlawful Eviction Law.”
