Making New York affordable means investing in spaces where communities can come together and thrive. Today, we’re opening the Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center in East Flatbush, honoring the first Black woman elected to Congress.

I am proud to appoint Tricia Shimamura as NYC's new Parks Commissioner today. Tricia has spent her career in public service fighting for working people, most recently as Manhattan Borough Parks Commissioner. In a city where almost everything costs something, our parks belong to everyone.

City government has real power to protect the millions of tenants across our city. Today, we announced that New York has come to a settlement with A&E Real Estate, one of the largest rent stabilized landlords in the City.

Today, we welcomed nearly 100 new sanitation workers to the ranks of New York's Strongest. Together, this class represents the city they serve — waking up early and staying up late to keep our streets clean, the snow plowed, and deliver the excellence New York City deserves.

Today, a case was filed on behalf of the City of New York to get our city’s delivery workers the money they are owed.  For too long, companies like Motoclick stole tips from delivery workers and ignored the minimum pay rate law. Under our administration, they won’t get away with it any longer.

You probably don't know what SEQRA is - but you should know that it's slowing down the housing that we need. Deputy Mayor Leila Bozorg is here to explain why reforming it is key to cutting red tape and building more housing.
