A Mid-June Review of Real Estate Issues and Their Impact on the Real Estate Industry

John A. ViterittibyJohn A. Viteritti

Home Real Estate

The subject of this article is to update some of the issues that have affected the real estate industry since the beginning of the year, among them, fair housing, the tenant protection act, and the impact of COVID-19.

With respect to COVID-19, on the day of the writing of this article, Long Island has moved into Phase 2. The New York State Association of Realtors (NYSAR) has posted on its website a summary of the guidelines for real estate activity as issued by Empire State Development and the Department of Health. It includes mandatory and recommended best practices guidance with respect to in-person contact with consumers, interaction with consumers, in-person showings, and open houses.

With regard to fair housing and advertising guidelines, on May14, 2020 the New York Department of State (DOS) sent a notice to all licensees informing them of new fair housing regulations going into effect on June 20, 2020 and advertising regulations on November 2, 2020. Guidance documents are posted on the DOS website.

A pending issue of concern to real estate agents is over the DOS published guidelines prohibiting a broker representing a landlord to collect a commission from the tenant. The Real Estate Board of New York (RBNY) and NYSAR commenced an Article 78 proceeding in Albany Supreme Court challenging the DOS action. The matter has been postponed to September 11, 2020.

An issue that has also gained much attention among the real estate industry is Governor Andrew Cuomo’s executive order and adopted by the State Legislature extending a moratorium on evictions to August 20, 2020. On June 1, 2020 Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr. issued a press release stating in part: “I supported legislation to provide rent relief, mortgage relief, property tax relief, and utility shut-off protection. However, I could not support legislation relating to evictions. While I support eviction protection for residents impacted by COVID-19 or their primary residences, the legislation before the Legislature was too broad.” On May 27, 2020 a lawsuit, Elmsford Apartment Associates, LLC v. Cuomo was filed in the U.S. District for the Southern District of New York challenging the constitutionality of the law.

I asked Assemblyman Thiele for his comments on the case and this is what he said: “My complaint about the executive orders and legislation relating to evictions is just that they are overbroad and vague. They could be interpreted as applying to seasonal rentals, which is far beyond the state intention of the orders, which is to permit people to stay in their primary home during the pandemic. Immunity from eviction from a vacation home is far afield from that.” He added: “This lawsuit seeks to challenge the executive orders on constitutional grounds relating to taking of property and impairment of contracts. I think any challenge of executive authority during an emergency on these grounds faces a heavy burden.”

Not to be lost in all of the complexity of these issues is the fact that Suffolk County has extended the deadline for tax payments not included in a mortgage payment from May 31, 2020 to June 22, 2020, June 21st being a Sunday.

  • Enjoy the Warmth of Community This Fall at LongHouse

LongHouse Reserve is unbelievably beautiful. Whether you’re here for the summer or visiting from out of town, LongHouse is a must-visit. It’s not just a place for art but a true community hub offering tranquility and a chance to marvel at nature’s wonders. It’s a sanctuary of peace.

This fall, there’s a buzz in the air, thanks to the efforts of LongHouse director Carrie Rebora Barratt, who is a relatively new local herself. She’s been working to create more engaging community events and has extended LongHouse’s open season well into the fall and possibly even the winter. @longhousereserve

  • The place is the old Astro’s, and it looks pretty much the same except all the seating is now by the windows, and there are no tables. You can go in for slices, and overall, it’s a pretty typical pizza joint with a more retro vibe. But what’s great about this pizza is that it is thin and has a crispness to it that you don’t get anywhere else in the Hamptons. This means that even if you devour half a pie, you don’t walk away feeling bloated and like death is imminent, but you just feel really full from good pizza.

Everything is fresh, and the overall vibe is trendy. You have to go. I gave it an 8.4. #pizza  #pizzatime  #pizzalover  #hamptons  #finipizza
  • Special Screening of Love…Reconsidered, A Hamptons-Based Romantic Comedy

The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will be hosting a premiere of the film Love…Reconsidered on Saturday, September 30th at 7:00 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium. This is the charming romantic comedy starring Sophie von Haselberg, Judy Gold, Marisa Ryan, Elaine Bromka, Luke Gulbranson, and Colton Haynes, set between New York City and Southampton.

Love…Reconsidered is based on Arielle Haller-Silverstone’s true love/life story, and she wrote the screenplay after losing her job during the pandemic where she then moved to the Hamptons. Haller-Silverstone is the co-owner of Le Closet, a curated consignment store, with locations in Southampton and New York City, and she can’t wait to premiere this film at WHBPAC and connect with viewers.

The screening will also include a panel discussion with the filmmakers moderated by Kate Schumacher and Carinn Jade of the well-known podcast Pop Fiction Women. They will dive into the film’s characters and the complicated lives they lead, along with the filmmaking process that brought this movie to life on the screen. Arielle Haller-Silverstone spoke more about her inspiration for the screenplay, her background, and what she is most looking forward to for the screening.

Congratulations on your film Love…Reconsidered. Can you talk about the story behind this film and where your inspiration came from to write the screenplay? 

Arielle Haller-Silverstone: I lost my job during COVID and started Le Closet from my studio apartment in Hell’s Kitchen. On a total whim, my dad knew a broker that knew a broker in Southampton, and I decided to give it a shot. I schlepped all of the clothes from NYC and opened on Windmill Lane (where the store still is today!). I knew there was a script within this story and had to make a movie. @whbpac
