Uptown housing attorney Ellery Ireland has represented tenants across the city as they battle landlords. He joins Led and Octavio to discuss what it takes to fight against predatory landlords.

This is not a nuts and bolts conversation about do this and do that to beat your landlord - it's just not that easy - it's a discussion about who has power and what it takes for tenants to recognize theirs and to put it into effect.

Ellery, who has a historian's knowledge of rent law in New York guides us through a journey. How was housing-court as we know it created - and for whom.

Led and Octavio chop it up about their feelings about the podcast, how things are going in the neighborhood, Leo season... and a lot more.

No guests, just the hosts of the Uptown Voices podcast, two guys from the neighborhood, catching up on things as they reminisce on the historic podcast that they are producing.

CIty Council representative Carmen De La Rosa joins Led and Octavio on the Uptown Voices podcast for a wide ranging conversation.

In this episode we learn about her origins as a daughter of immigrants who grew up on Post Avenue in Inwood, the northern-most neighborhood of Manhattan Island. She also discusses the state of the Uptown community (District 10) and what needs to happen as the Executive Branch of the US government focuses its threats on our neighbors. You'll also hear about the impact of On Point, safe injection site (that was approved for operations at midnight, the last night of the De Blasio administration as power transitioned to Eric Adams) and the challenge of the addiction, mental health and housing crises which our neighborhood has been shouldering.

Councilwoman De La Rosa is proud of her work and praises her staff for its grit and determination to help members of the district she represents to navigate the myriad of issues they bring to her office. Her hope is that the responsiveness she show to her constituents will be her legacy.
