Statement From A.G. Schneiderman On Legislation To Address Epidemic Of Zombie Homes
ALBANY - Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman issued the following statement on legislation to address the zombie home epidemic:
"This deal is a major victory for New Yorkers living in communities throughout the state, as it will give regulators and law enforcement the tools they need to revitalize neighborhoods that have been devastated by the proliferation of zombie homes. I applaud Assembly Member Weinstein and Senator Klein for their unwavering commitment to revitalizing communities plagued by zombie homes by crafting an impressive and meaningful legislative package, and Governor Cuomo for making this issue a priority. As I have long said, zombie homes are an enduring legacy of the housing crisis, but thanks to the advocacy of determined elected officials and advocates, and thousands of motivated New Yorkers, we will be able to make a major difference in communities statewide."
