""The establishment of this office and the work going forward is an act of empathy for people. I see it as a direct correlation and an extension of the work that I've previously done. I'm excited to get this going.""
""The theft of a home is the theft of a family's future. Deed theft preys on the New Yorkers who can least afford it. Today, we are bringing the full force of city government to bear to stop it - to protect homeowners, defend generational wealth and make clear that this city will not tolerate the exploitation of our communities.""
Mayor Zohran Mamdani created the Office of Deed Theft Prevention, appointing Peter White as its director. White, an experienced attorney in homeowner assistance, aims to address the issue of deed theft, which can devastate families by stripping them of their homes and generational wealth. Mamdani emphasized the city's commitment to protecting vulnerable New Yorkers from exploitation. The recent arrest of Council Member Chi Ossé during a protest against an eviction has brought increased attention to the issue of deed theft in the city.
