Short term, assuming the real estate lobby doesn't sue this to keep delaying/appealing, once it goes into effect there will be no more broker fees paid by tenant *unless they hire the broker*Some long term effects I can predict already: - Landlords now having to absorb broker fees will bake this into the rent (e.g. how "no fee" units typically are priced a little higher than other units) - Real estate board will require another document (or checkbox) for tenants to sign stating that they're hiring the listing broker and responsible for compensating them for their fee *if* they apply and are approved- Regular New Yorkers will have an even harder time to find an apartment because you cannot legislate/regulate away a housing crises... 

My concern is that I disagree with the methodology, and could use advice / specific use cases to build a convincing argument for the review board that you can't redefine use until it has been done.It's a single lot.

Chalk it up to education.  

At isle vista, my son skate boarded to his parked car because he sometimes was blocks from his residence.  

Third pack the board with your allies and vote it in.
