Institutional Capital and Affordability in New York City Housing: Manhattan and the Bronx Since 2008  [PDF]
Kai Woo, Joon Lee
Current Urban Studies (CUS) , 2025, DOI: 10.4236/cus.2025.134021
Abstract: This paper investigates how institutional capital has reshaped the housing landscape in New York City, focusing on Manhattan and the Bronx since the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. Following the crisis, private equity firms, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and asset managers rapidly expanded their presence in Manhattan, acquiring large-scale developments and consolidating ownership. This shift transformed housing into a financial asset, producing luxury-driven redevelopment while heightening tenant displacement and rent burdens. In contrast, the Bronx maintained more fragmented, small-scale ownership patterns, yet still faced affordability stress through limited credit access, overcrowding, and severe rent burdens. Drawing on case studies, ownership data, and quantitative analysis of vacancy rates and rental burdens, the study demonstrates that both corporate concentration in Manhattan and dispersed ownership in the Bronx ultimately yielded similar outcomes: persistent scarcity and widespread housing insecurity. Policy responses such as the 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act, Mandatory Inclusionary Housing, and 421-a tax incentives provided partial remedies, but failed to bridge the gap between capital investment and long-term affordability. The findings suggest that only a comprehensive rethinking of public investment in housing can address New York’s enduring affordability crisis.
Implementing Smoke-Free Housing Policies Among Multiunit Housing Owners in New York City Between 2012 and 2015

Abstract: Smoke-free regulations are the norm in workplaces and public outdoor areas across New York City (NYC), and smoke-free apartment building regulations are less widespread. In 2017, more than one-third (37.6%) of NYC multiunit housing (MUH) residents reported breathing secondhand smoke (SHS) from neighboring units. In 2015, the NYC Health Department conducted a cross-sectional phone survey among a random sample of NYC low-income and market-rate MUH property owners/managers as a follow-up to a 2012 study. The study compared owners’ experiences and attitudes regarding smoke-free policies. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used. Overall, the proportion of owners who have a policy prohibiting smoking in individual units (33% vs 37%) increased between 2012 and 2015. In both waves, owners without low-income units (wave 1: 36%, wave 2: 40%) were more likely to have smoke-free housing policies than those with low-income units (wave 1: 26%, wave 2: 30%). The models adjusted for factors such as current smoking, size and nature of housing units, and several beliefs. Owners in 2015 were more likely to have a smoke-free policy (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 1.25, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.003, 1.564) and, among those without a current smoke-free policy, to have future interest in smoke-free unit policies (AOR: 1.68, 95% CI: 1.17, 2.39) than in 2012. An increasing proportion of NYC MUH owners are reducing tenant exposure to SHS and providing them with a healthier environment. We expect to see further expansion of smoke-free housing in NYC as positive norms grow

Determinants of New York City Residential Rental Prices
Larissa Marco
Michigan Journal of Business , 2008,
Abstract: Economists and financial analysts have invested a tremendousamount of energy in an attempt to explain housing sale and rental prices. Many different approaches have been taken to try to understand residential prices, taking into account qualities such as neighborhood characteristics and housing units’ physical characteristics. This paper considers the physical and demographic characteristics of New York City neighborhoods to better understand residential rental prices in this region. The empirical analysis reveals that premiums are charged for rental properties based on location in the following order: Staten Island, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, with Manhattan commanding the largest premium. High rental prices are also correlated with high median household incomes and high crime rates. Finally, increases in rental prices are correlated with increases in rent-regulated or rent-subsidized housing. At a certain point, however, the level of rent-regulated housing reaches its maximum and rental prices fall thereafter. Ultimately, this study offers a bundle of attributes that may be used to understand housing prices and establishes the attributes most relevant to the pricing equation. With this study, renters, landlords, and real estate developers can better understand the real estate market and make more informed decisions as players in the market.
Teaching austerity to working
Richard Wells
- , 2019, DOI: 10.1177/0309816818780654
Abstract: To understand the contradictory power of austerity politics and, indeed, to teach about this contradictory power, the ideas of Antonio Gramsci provide an important guide. Austerity politics has a ‘there is no alternative’ durability derived from both the ruling class power behind it and the kernels of common sense that anchor it in everyday concerns of the majority. The challenge, therefore, is not simply a matter of practical politics and organizing. It is fundamentally a matter of political education, Gramsci-style: that slow and difficult work of creating, through carefully facilitated dialogue among the ‘subaltern’ classes, the kinds of alternative perspectives which reveal austerity for what it is and point to more equitable futures. This article explores a piece of this critical work. For theoretical context, it examines some key Gramscian terms – Hegemony, ‘common’, and ‘good sense’ – in order to surface their educational relevance. Then it explores the particular field of cultural experience, narrative, and meaning that shapes how the working-class students the author works with in a University-based labor studies program in New York City engage with college-level education and certain themes associated with austerity. Last, the article describes how, in a classroom-based analysis of the Fiscal Crisis in New York City in the mid-1970s, dialogue can create collective and critical understanding about austerity. The result is a small but important step toward a new common sense
La question du logement social à New York
Catherine Pouzoulet
Transatlantica : Revue d'études Américaines , 2006,
Abstract: This paper focuses upon the debates that took place in New York City in the early years of the La Guardia administration around the issue of low income public housing. It outlines the separate, conflicting agendas of various actors (such as housing reformers, trade unionists, social workers, real estate developers, business groups…), and analyzes how their positions interacted with the struggle for control of the newly created public housing program between the federal and local governments. Prior to the Depression, government involvement in the working class housing market had been unacceptable in a city which had left a free rein to private investors and had only reluctantly adopted a zoning regulation in 1916, essentially to remedy the excesses of unfettered speculation as they undermined real estate investments. At the same time, New York City had become sadly famous for housing unrivalled numbers of its working class and immigrants in unhealthy, dilapidated tenements. Successive tenement regulations had generated wide publicity and helped initiate a national housing movement but failed to provide a marked improvement in the living conditions of poor people. As long as new dwellers came pouring into poor neighborhoods, slum landlords were in a position to control the housing market and take advantage of record high densities. The Depression created a radically new context. For the first time, slum neighborhoods had a high vacancy rate, and the collapse of the housing market allowed housing reformers to step in and make alternative proposals, advocating innovative architectural concepts as well as ideas for decommercializing residential property. The combination of a progressive administration at local level (La Guardia) and a liberal upsurge at federal level (Roosevelt and the New Deal) created the conditions for government engagement in the production of low income housing. The upgrading of housing for the poor was seriously discussed but these debates were also rapidly marked by diverging views. The creation in 1934 of the first local authority (NYCHA) to build public housing was to serve as a model for the creation of a federal housing authority (USHA) as part of the 1937 Wagner Steagall Act. These years of experimentation saw a rapid evolution in the production of housing under the auspices of local and federal authorities. The initial impetus to build innovative, low density, low rise projects and to conceive a universal housing policy that did not stigmatize alternative housing for the poor was soon eclipsed by the higher concerns of other poli

Abstract: “Pneumonia and influenza” are the third leading cause of death in New York City. Since 2012, pneumonia and influenza have been the only infectious diseases listed among the 10 leading causes of death in NYC. Most pneumonia and influenza deaths in NYC list pneumonia as the underlying cause of death, not influenza. We therefore analyzed death certificate data for pneumonia in NYC during 1999–2015

Abstract: Air pollution is considered a risk factor for asthma. In this paper, we analyze the association between daily hospital admissions for asthma and ambient air pollution concentrations in four New York City counties. Negative binomial regression is used to model the association between daily asthma hospital admissions and ambient air pollution concentrations. Potential confounding factors such as heat index, day of week, holidays, yearly population changes, and seasonal and long-term trends are controlled for in the models. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) show the most consistent statistically significant associations with daily hospitalizations for asthma during the entire period (1996-2000). The associations are stronger for children (0 - 17 years) than for adults (18 - 64 years). Relative risks (RR) for the inter-quartile range (IQR) of same day 24-hour average pollutant concentration and asthma hospitalizations for children for the four county hospitalization totals were: NO2 (IQR = 0.011 ppm, RR = 1.017, 95% CI = 1.001, 1.034), SO2 (IQR = 0.008 ppm, RR = 1.023, 95% CI = 1.004, 1.042), CO (IQR = 0.232 ppm, RR = 1.014, 95% CI = 1.003, 1.025). In the case of ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM2.5) statistically significant associations were found for daily one-hour maxima values and children’s asthma hospitalization in models that used lagged values for air pollution concentrations. Five-day weighted average lag models resulted in these estimates: O3 (one-hour maxima) (IQR = 0.025 ppm, RR = 1.049, 95% CI = 1.002, 1.098), PM2.5 (one-hour maxima) (IQR = 16.679 μg/m3, RR = 1.055, 95% CI = 1.008, 1.103). In addition, seasonal variations were also explored for PM2.5 and statistically significant associations with daily hospital admissions for asthma were found during the colder months (November-March) of the year. Important differences in pollution effects were found across pollutants, counties, and age groups. The results for PM2.5 suggest that the composition of PM is important to this health outcome, since the major sources of NYC PM differ between winter and summer months.
Initiation of a Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System in New York City  [PDF]
Dickens St. Hilaire, Philippe Mercier, Neal Phillip
Atmospheric and Climate Sciences (ACS) , 2019, DOI: 10.4236/acs.2019.91002
Abstract: Highly urbanized and industrialized cities across the globe have been known for a long time to be major anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs), yet there is still no consensus on an adequate methodology to monitor their ambient concentration. This work describes the initiation of a GHG monitoring program at Bronx Community College (BCC) of the City University of New York (CUNY) in Bronx, New York using a Picarro GHG monitor (Model g2301). Results show average atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) that are above 400 and 2.0 ppmv, respectively. Similar daily fluctuations, with peaks levels resulting from emissions likely occurring during morning rush hour, indicate that there are common sources for both gases. This monitoring system is replicable, sustainable and scalable and will make it possible to more quantifiably link emissions produced in New York City to their material sources. As more data is collected, reduction projections for GHG-producing materials will more accurately be associated to reduction projections for atmospheric CO2 and CH4 levels originating in New York City. In the process, empirical models on air exchange rates and convective boundary layer homogenization through turbulence could also be improved.
