Tenants’ advocates march from Housing Court to marshal’s office to protest evictions

Groups of tenants’ advocates marched through Downtown Brooklyn on Tuesday from the Housing Court on Livingston Street to the office of the eviction marshal on Atlantic Avenue as they called on the Legislature to pass bills that would prevent evictions.
There are currently no evictions proceeding in New York State. However, the moratorium that is stopping them runs out at the end of September. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has routinely extended the moratorium, but he usually waits until a few days before it is set to expire, causing panic from lawyers who represent tenants as well as landlords.
