On today’s episode of Closed! Emily and Mike chat with 18 year veteran of Community Board 5, Layla Law-Gisiko, about her experience and role in helping to shape development of midtown Manhattan.
We have a very informative chat with Layla about what a New York Community Board does, how she got involved, and the enormous ways that you can impact your community through political activism. We learn about public housing, the impact of tax incentives and building conversion, long-term vs. short-term development policies, and the role she believes special interests should play in shaping these policies.
We learned so much, and we think you will too! You can learn more about Layla at https://www.laylaforny.com/.

The purchase or sale of real estate is a major financial transaction in a person or company’s life. A real estate transaction is a contract where the terms of the documents will determine your rights, so it is essential to take an aggressive approach to the negotiation and drafting of these documents. Failing to do so could cause the loss of significant value and may bind you to unfavorable terms.
Especially in a high-priced market such as NYC, it is important to approach these transactions with help from a dedicated attorney. Property transactions require disciplined attention to detail as well as in-depth knowledge of the law. Let a New York City real estate lawyer protect your rights and preserve your best interests.
