Meanwhile is addressing squatting concerns in our city including right
here in the Bronx. So just last week,
we reported on eight migrants who allegedly were said to
be squatting inside of a home in Norwood and they
were arrested on a drug and gun charges yesterday,
Mayor Adams said there needs to be measures in place
aimed at protecting homeowners against squatters. Take a listen
. There was a reason that squatter laws were put
in place and you know, I think people are
starting to exploit what some of those reasons are.
We're going to look at the law and we're going
to make sure that we are able to protect homeowners
in the city council member, Susan Zhang, along
with other city leaders plan to introduce legislation to make
it easier for police to remove squatters and track how
often this practice happens.
