1. Re‑Establishes the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants
The order formally re‑creates the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants, originally established in 2019 under Executive Order No. 39. The Office is placed under the leadership of an Executive Director appointed by the Mayor and serves as the City’s coordinating body for tenant‑related issues.

2. Defines the Office’s Duties and Functions
The Office is assigned a broad coordination and advocacy mandate, including:

• easing access to City resources for tenants and tenant‑serving organizations;
• coordinating tenants, advocates, legal services, and landlords to address housing quality and affordability;
• facilitating dialogue between tenant groups and landlords;
• conducting outreach and education on tenant rights;
• promoting tenant interests in City housing policy development;
• developing policy changes to strengthen tenant protections and improve enforcement;
• carrying out any additional responsibilities assigned by the Mayor.

These duties position the Office as a coordinating hub across multiple agencies and tenant‑serving entities.

3. Requires Full Agency Cooperation
All mayoral agencies — including HPD, DOB, DSS, DCWP, DOHMH, DOF, MOSE, CCHR, MODA, and civic‑engagement‑related offices — must cooperate with the Office in carrying out its duties. This gives the Office cross‑agency authority, which is significant procedurally.

4. Revokes the Prior Executive Order
Executive Order No. 39 (January 10, 2019), which originally created the Office, is formally revoked. This order replaces it as the governing authority for the Office’s mission and structure.

5. Effective Immediately
The order takes effect upon signing.
