Rental listings across New York City's five boroughs fell about 6% in February compared with a year earlier, marking a second straight year of inventory contraction, according to StreetEasy. Meanwhile, the median asking rent jumped more than 8% to $3,950, reflecting tighter supply and higher costs. The decline follows the June broker‑fee ban (FARE Act) and the November election of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whose rent‑freeze agenda and “rental ripoff” hearings have put landlords under pressure. Despite a five‑year construction boom, new‑construction rentals remain scarce in Manhattan, representing under 3% of the borough’s listings and highlighting a persistent shortage of two‑plus‑bedroom units.
