What happened
Legal filings against residential rental properties in New York City grew substantially between 2021 and 2023 and remained at that elevated level. An analysis of claims filed against properties in New York City found that government-subsidized and heavily rent-stabilized housing faced a disproportionately higher rate of claims per unit. The researchers noted that New York State has over 1,100,000 active claims, making it the most litigious state in the union.

Local assessors in New York have begun implementing de facto tax increases due to high property taxes already reported in the state.
