Buildings to watch
Closest known listed dates first. These are early-warning research priorities, not legal conclusions about expiration.
Why this matters for Albany
A statewide preservation strategy can give tenants earlier notice, meaningful purchase rights and a path to mission-driven ownership before an expiring affordability agreement becomes a displacement fight.
TOPA + tenant powerGive tenants a meaningful opportunity to organize and pursue acquisition when qualifying properties change hands.
LIHTC reformUse state allocation and financing authority to require stronger, substantially longer affordability commitments.
Preservation capitalPair purchase rights with acquisition, rehabilitation and technical-assistance funding so preservation is actually feasible.
Important methodology note: Affordable Forever uses National Housing Preservation Database LIHTC information as an early-warning tool and the U.S. Census Bureau TIGERweb current legislative layers for geography. The legislative geometry is the Census Bureau's 2024 State Legislative Districts, January 1, 2025 vintage. New York's 2024 Assembly map became effective January 1, 2025. Listed LIHTC dates are not automatically controlling legal expiration dates; governing regulatory agreements and overlapping protections must be verified.
