Its origins trace back to 2010 when then-Public Advocate Bill de Blasio initiated the list to highlight chronic negligence among landlords. By spotlighting these bad actors, the list aims to pressure landlords to improve conditions and empower tenants to advocate for their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-landlords-get-off-the-worst-landlords-list\">Can Landlords Get Off the Worst Landlords List?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Landlords can be removed from the list by addressing the outstanding violations across their properties. This process often requires a significant commitment to repairs and maintenance, demonstrating a clear effort to improve living conditions for tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" data-attachment-id=\"3105\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.openigloo.com\/2024-worst-landlords-list-is-out-how-to-find-out-if-youre-renting-from-one-of-nycs-worst-landlords\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.openigloo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1.jpg?fit=2400%2C1260&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1260\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.openigloo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1.jpg?fit=300%2C158&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.openigloo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1.jpg?fit=1024%2C538&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.openigloo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1.jpg?resize=1024%2C538&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.openigloo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1.jpg?resize=1024%2C538&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.openigloo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1.jpg?resize=300%2C158&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.openigloo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1.jpg?resize=768%2C403&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.openigloo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1.jpg?resize=1536%2C806&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.openigloo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1.jpg?resize=2048%2C1075&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.openigloo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bodyimg_worstlandlord2024_jan2025_1.jpg?resize=1200%2C630&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-i-find-out-if-my-landlord-made-the-list\">How Can I Find Out if My Landlord Made the List?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding out if your landlord is on the Worst Landlord Watchlist is straightforward: Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openigloo.com\/\">openigloo<\/a> to search for your building.
