nypost.com/2025/12/12/opinio… In its rush to force private landlords to sell their buildings to nonprofit outfits, the City Council looks to be favoring a new, even-harder-to-control class of slumlords. The council’s looking to pass The Community Opportunity to Purchase Act in the year’s final weeks, before critical scrutiny exposes COPA’s rank insanity. The law would grant “qualified” non-profit organizations and tenant associations the right-of-first-refusal to buy multi-family rental buildings when they’re put up for sale, in a scheme that would both delay any possible sale for months and discourage private bids in the first place, since potential buyers would know they could lose the deal at the last minute (among other hidden costs the plan imposes).
