Sherwin Belkin Quoted in The New York Times on Housing Court Delays
Sherwin Belkin was quoted in The New York Times Real Estate section in an “Ask Real Estate” column examining the challenges small New York landlords face when dealing with nonpaying tenants in housing court.
In the article, which addresses delays, rising costs, and procedural hurdles in nonpayment cases, Belkin explained the structural realities of the system, noting that “although the housing court was originally designed to provide swift adjudication, delay is now an inherent part of the court process.”
The piece highlights how prolonged timelines and strict notice requirements can make it difficult for owners, particularly small landlords, to resolve nonpayment matters efficiently without experienced legal guidance.
The article, written by Jill Terreri Ramos, was published online on March 14, 2026, and appears in the March 15 print edition of The New York Times.
