Labor Law 240 and Rising Insurance Costs: A Threat to Affordable Housing in West Harlem??????? The recent surge in insurance rates for Housing Development Fund Corporation (HDFC) residents in West Harlem, as highlighted in the?**Columbia?Spectator**, is a symptom of a broader challenge posed by **New York’s?Labor Law 240**, commonly known as the **Scaffold Law**. This law, which holds property owners and employers strictly liable for gravity-related injuries regardless of worker negligence, has led to a significant increase in insurance premiums across the state, and affordable housing developments are not immune. With HDFC owners in West Harlem seeing their insurance costs double, there’s growing concern that this could destabilize the affordability of these crucial housing units. Many industry experts argue that the Scaffold Law contributes to New York having some of the highest insurance premiums in the country. For affordable housing projects like HDFCs, where every dollar counts, these rising premiums represent an enormous burden on residents who are already managing tight budgets. #AffordableHousing #HDFC #ScaffoldLaw #LaborLaw240 #InsuranceRates #NYCHousing #WestHarlem #Construction #HousingPolicy

A recent Eyewitness News investigation uncovered dozens of construction injury lawsuits filed by residents of the same New York City buildings, signaling potential widespread insurance fraud in the construction industry. With many lawsuits tied to just two law firms, this pattern is raising alarm among contractors and insurers. The ripple effect? Rising costs for all New Yorkers, from housing to basic goods. It's time for systemic reform to curb these practices. Kristin Thorne #ConstructionSafety #InsuranceFraud #NYCConstruction #IndustryReform #LegalAbuse #StagedAccidents #EyewitnessNews

"The trend of organized crime syndicates leveraging the courts to finance their illegal activities is likely to gain momentum with each successful operation. These criminal operations drive up costs for businesses and taxpayers while eroding public trust in the legal system." Tom Stebbins, Executive Director, Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York

We are proud to celebrate our President, Andriana V. and her recent feature on season 2 of Chef Maria Loi’s award-winning PBS series,?The Life of Loi. In the episode “A Family Affair,” Andriana joins Chef Loi on a culinary journey from the beautiful island of Naxos in Greece to the vibrant kitchens of New York. Together, they crafted dishes inspired by the rich traditions and flavors passed down through generations of an extraordinary Naxos family. At Andromeda Advantage, we value the importance of heritage, family, and the power of collaboration—principles beautifully reflected in this episode. We’re excited to share this special moment and continue to be inspired by the creativity and dedication Andriana brings to everything she does. #Leadership #Heritage #CulinaryArts #Inspiration #AndromedaAdvantage https://lnkd.in/d9aKihz6
