Boston City Council President Liz Breadon (who represents Allston-Brighton) introduced a proposal for the city to publish a biannual “bad landlords list” 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 co-signed the proposal unanimously, referring it to the Government Operations Committee, which must act on the proposal by its final meeting of the year on December 9, 2026. GBREB will engage with Council and city staff processes to ensure fairness in this process. For more information, visit this link.
