* The city’s leading authority and advocate for small businesses for 30 years in Sung Soo Kim. Mr. Kim predicts the eviction rates will decline each year in NYC. NOT due to any positive legislation or actions taken by government, but due to more empty store fronts for longer periods of time (many remain empty for years) and the leases have become shorter and shorter in NYC the last decade, sometimes month to month. The shorter leases result in businesses not fighting eviction in court due to high costs and short leases. 

* Kim- the founder of the oldest small business service center in NYC, the Korean American Small Business Service Center, and was Chairman of the Mayor’s First Small Business Advisory Board, appointed by Mayors Dinkins and Giuliani  He has spent every working day for 32 years addressing the problems of immigrant small business owners. In 32 years he has personally negotiated and re-negotiated an estimated 50,000-55,000 commercial leases for his Korean members. He has gone to court weekly for 30 years to fight over 5,000 times  for his members in court.
