The Boston City Council’s Government Operations Committee announced it will review President Liz Breadon’s “bad landlords list” ordinance at a work session on November 23 at 10am. The ordinance proposes a public listing of “scofflaws” determined by a point system including code violations, inclusion on the city’s Problem Property List, and failures to register rentals. The City Council must act on the proposal by its final meeting of the year on December 9, 2026, or renew the ordinance in subsequent years. Interested parties can register for a Zoom link to the working session, but the committee will not include a public comment period. GBREB will engage with Council and city staff processes to ensure fairness in this process. For more information or to register for the working session, visit this link.
