NYC Council Wants to Take Away a Landlords Ability To Do Background Checks – Justin Brannan is Silent About This Vote on 12/8
NYC Council wants to remove a landlord’s ability to do a background check for future tenants. (See bill)
The bill: Int 0632 will be voted on Thursday, December 8th. (People are against it – See here)
While Councilman Justin Brannan is not a sponsor of this bill, he often votes with this group of City Council representatives.
Brannan has not spoken out against the bill, like Inna Vernikov, the City Council Representative in Brighton Beach, Midwood and Sheepshead Bay. Vernikov took the time to speak out about NYC Council pushing this vote.
What’s on the menu this Thanksgiving? A bill which would prohibit landlords from conducting criminal background checks of potential tenants. Murdered someone? Beat up your girlfriend? Robbed? Stabbed your neighbor? No problem. Come live among us! Tell the @NYCCouncil to vote NO! pic.twitter.com/xgB2ePWprF

Brannan is a terrible council representative. He is more focused on being the head of finance for NYC Council, than sharing important votes with the community. The communication he does share is filled with useless photos of him, rather than important legislation.
NYC Council does not care about the small landlords in Brooklyn. Many landlords live in a two-family home, where they occupy one floor and tenants occupy the other. Landlords need to know who is living in the home with them.
This bill affects 3 family homes and up.
Many people in this community don’t feel that someone who has been incarcerated within the last few years should have the opportunity to get an apartment the same way someone who hasn’t been arrested. Apartments with background checks are doing so not only for the owner of the building, but also for the safety of the other people in the building as well.
