Got yourself a dreaded case of the Mondays? Start your week off right by catching up on last week's episode of the Hell Gate Podcast. Listen here, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that Mayor Eric Adams was planning to stack the Rent Guidelines Board with a bevy of his own appointees on his way out of office in an effort to block Zohran Mamdani's agenda to freeze rent for rent-stabilized tenants. Then, on Friday afternoon, the New York Post reported that one board appointee Adams was considering was Eleonora Srugo, the Douglas Elliman luxury real estate agent, Adams confidante, and star of the first (and only) season of the Netflix reality show "Selling the City."
After the Post reported that sources within the administration said that she was being considered, Srugo confirmed to the New York Times that a member of Adams's administration had reached out to ask her to join the RGB.
