Mamdani’s Anti-Rent Advisor Faces Eviction Over Four Years Of Unpaid Rent

When you sign a rental lease, you are agreeing to pay the rental amount in a timely manner. Unless you are Tracy Rosenthal, who just so happens to be Zohran Mamdani’s so-called “Rent Advisor.”

A rent-striking, rising-star radical orchestrating the Mamdani administration’s socialist housing agenda is the daughter of a famed music studio owner who recorded rock legends like David Bowie, the Ramones, Blondie, Lou Reed, Sonic Youth, the Foo Fighters and Coldplay, The Post has learned.

While framing herself as a champion of the proletariat, Tracy Rosenthal grew up in a trendy $1.7 million NoMad pad with elite access to the music industry — attending the Grammys at least twice with her dad, four-time winner Steven Rosenthal.

Yet despite her first-class upbringing, she’s been on a four-year “rent strike” since moving back to New York City after a stint in Los Angeles — because the Bolshevik bugged out after spotting a cockroach in her hip $2,300 a month Bed-Stuy apartment.

At a North Carolina Democratic Socialists of America meeting where she spoke last August, Rosenthal, 39 — who pridefully posed for a snap on Karl Marx’s grave during a trip to London — sang the blues about what she claimed were horrendous conditions she had to endure in 2021.

“As soon as I moved in, I realized that we had roaches . . . and I lost my mind,” she said of the two-bedroom pad that occupies the top floor of a brownstone. “I was very angry. . . . it’s really gross.”

She said the landlord refused to hire an exterminator, and after finding out the building had more rental units than were legally approved and was facing foreclosure, she organized with the other tenants to eventually stop paying rent, stiffing the owner of at least $108,000 on her unit alone.

She spots one single cockroach and demands a full exterminator instead of just going to the hardware store and picking up some bug spray. 

But you see, this wasn’t about the cockroach. Oh no. It was about gaming the system to have a free place to stay. She could’ve broken the lease and moved elsewhere. But chose not to. Instead, she stiffed the landlord out of thousands of dollars over the course of four years.
