'The creation of these new judgeships has been part of our greater strategy to improve case processing and access to justice in Housing Court, which also included the hiring of new court attorneys and clerical staff to assist in this high-volume court.'
'New York City Housing Court is among the busiest courts in the nation, handling matters that directly impact New Yorkers' day-to-day living conditions and livelihoods,' said Chief Administrative Judge Zayas.
'They will both bring extensive resumes of tenant-side housing law and training in Housing Court procedure. Five of these posts were newly created to support operations and meet increased caseloads.'
'Zayas thanked the governor and legislature for funding these new judgeships, which the court system requested in its budget to address the backlogs in housing courts.'
