Real talk, how does that actually work? The government can just seize property?

My guess is go somewhere else.

Isn’t that because the bank technically owns it unless it’s fully paid off?

You wouldn’t use eminent domain for that A court can seize a landlords property if they just don’t pay taxes or fees on it. They typically will not do that- first they will put a lien on it. What Mamdani would do is to just very strictly enforce codes and give huge fees, until the worst landlords leave of their own free will, or fix the property. That is what a “crackdown” means, big fines to corporate slumlords, less to tenants and normal 1-2 property owners
