New York City has appointed three new judges to its high-volume housing courts to combat delays in eviction hearings and landlord-tenant cases. Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas appointed Madalina Danescu and Rachel Vincent in Brooklyn, while Susan Winograd fills a vacancy in the Bronx. Each appointee brings extensive knowledge of housing law and a commitment to serving diverse populations. Their arrival comes in response to ongoing issues within the court system, aimed at streamlining case management and providing timely justice, especially for historically underrepresented groups in housing matters.
The appointments come as New York City's housing court system has taken measures to reduce case delays by bringing on new judges and court staff.
Judge Rachel Vincent and Judge Madalina Danescu, raised by immigrant parents, will serve in Brooklyn, while Judge Susan Winograd fills a vacancy in the Bronx.
Danescu has over five years of experience as an associate court attorney and has focused on landlord-tenant law, specifically for low-income housing.
According to Judges Zayas and St. George, the new appointees have demonstrated keen judgment, passion for justice, and capacity for innovation.
