Seema Agnani is fighting to make basements legal

Her quote to Christopher Cameron of Staten Island Advance, "Anything that increases supply is really good and anything that allows homeowners to make better use of the housing that they own themselves, for which they find willing tenants, as long as its sage, really should be encouraged." Her organization, Chaaya which stands for tea in Hindi is working with South Asian families in Queens including Floral Park and Bellerose to help a legal practice for landlords to rent out basements. Along with her organization, more and more non-profits are joining to propose to city council next year when Di Blasio takes over as the mayor of NYC.
