As the legislative session wraps up in Albany, Mayor Eric Adams says he hopes lawmakers will act on measures to boost housing sooner rather than later.

“We must get a housing bill passed now,” he said during an appearance on “Mornings On 1” Tuesday.

“We have to be able to build higher, we need the incentives to build and we must make sure that we deal with some form of reform around capital projects,” he said. “I'm hoping that the lawmakers up there understand how important it is it.”

Adams pointed out that the city has more than 90,000 people in its care and “when you look at the stock of housing, it's just not enough.”

He said that many New Yorkers turn to city lawmakers to ask why nothing is being done to increase affordable housing in the five boroughs, but they should be turning to Albany.

“Any inaction that takes place around housing in Albany falls in the lap of these city leaders. And that's what's happening here. We need more affordable housing. We need to immediately move at the level of urgency that we are faced with,” Adams said.

Meanwhile, the mayor is hoping that the Rent Guidelines Board can strike a balance when it comes to potential increases for rent stabilized apartments in the city.

“We have to make sure that we don't overburden tenants and at the same time, we have to look at those small property owners. Because if you're a small property owner and your livelihood is that 10-, 12-family house – and you can't find that balance on dealing with the increasing costs, the increasing rent, the increase in labor costs – then those small property owners will lose those homes. And in return, then we will have a real affordable housing crisis because they’ll be absorbed by large property owners,” he said.
