“At the onset of the pandemic, the eviction moratorium aided New Yorkers who needed it. Extending the eviction and foreclosure moratorium for an additional four months, the exact same day the governor has announced plans for a full re-opening of our state’s economy by May 17^th, is not necessary and only furthers the financial hurt for the numerous large and small landlords throughout the state.
