Last year ProPublica reported that over the past few years the number of evictions in new York increased and the number of homeless has increased to almost record levels since the great Depression. This is due to significant violations of law by landlords in respect of tenants who rent apartments with stabilized rent. Despite the ban, the rent was increased so much that many just are unable to continue to pay for housing and were forced to leave their home, neighbourhood, district. The highest number of evictions were recorded in Crown Heights , and Bushwick.
Brooklyn startup JustFix.nyc has developed a special interactive map, which allows you to monitor the evictions taking place in the city. According to JustFix, in the period from 2013 to 2015 in new York was recorded 450,000 evictions, equivalent to about 25 000-30 000 evictions in the year.
