Chief Administrative Judge Joseph A. Zayas announced the appointment of two new judges to Manhattan Housing Court as part of a citywide push to improve court
Judges Yekaterina Blinova and Adam R. Meyers, who will preside in Manhattan , were among seven attorneys tapped to serve across housing court s in four New York City boroughs. They will both bring extensive resumes of tenant-side housing law and training in Housing Court procedure.
“New York City Housing Court is among the busiest courts in the nation, handling matters that directly impact New Yorkers’ day-to-day living conditions and livelihoods,” said Chief Administrative Judge Zayas. “The creation of these new judgeships has been part of our greater strategy to improve case processing and access to justice in Housing Court, which also included the hiring of new court attorneys and clerical staff to assist in this high-volume court.

The judges serve five-year terms and preside over proceedings in housing cases within Civil Court. Rubel previously worked as an associate court attorney in Housing Court in Kings County for nearly five years. Before that, she was a senior associate attorney at a Long Island landlord-tenant firm where she represented landlords as well as rent-regulated tenants. She also represented the City of New York in its capacity as a residential and commercial landlord during her tenure as a staff attorney at the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. She earned her J.D.
