Tenants face prolonged water shutoffs affecting basic hygiene and quality of life; potential displacement costs; increased health risks; reduced property values in affected buildings; higher insurance premiums for NYC residential properties.
Likely increased regulatory scrutiny of building maintenance standards; mandatory Legionella testing protocols; stricter enforcement of building code violations; potential liability reforms; increased municipal inspection budgets; possible rent control or tenant protection measures.
