Pleased to have Kenny Burgos, the Chief Executive Officer of the New York Apartment Association (NYAA), on this episode. NYAA owns & manages nearly 1M affordable housing units in the NYC metropolitan area, making Kenny the leader of the largest trade organization representing private multifamily building owners in the country.
Kenny was born and raised in the Bronx. He graduated from Bronx High School of Science and was an eco major at SUNY Albany.
Before heading up NYAA, Kenny was elected to represent the 85th Assembly District in the southeastern Bronx as a Democrat, the second youngest elected official in the state of NY.
Kenny is also a podcast host himself. His “Housing New York with Kenny Burgos podcast” is a weekly NYAA production that recaps housing policy news, provides insider analysis, and discusses issues like rent stabilization, zoning, and real estate trends. The podcast covers topics such as the City of Yes plan, composting fines, scaffolding regulations, and the housing court backlog. I shall plug the podcast link in our show notes.
Please follow Kenny at @kennyburgosny & NYAA @housingNY ON IG, and his presence on X may be followed at @kennyBurgosNY.
