Brooklyn Councilman Chi Ossé has introduced a new initiative aimed at ending deed theft, a growing problem in neighborhoods like Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights, where criminals have disproportionately targeted homeowners to steal property deeds.
Ossé joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss his efforts to combat deed theft, including a proposed temporary eviction moratorium and increased legal transparency for homeowners. They also talked about his use of social media as a tool for political engagement and the broader need to address housing issues. The conversation also touched on why Ossé ultimately abandoned his bid to unseat House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and his current relationship with Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
