District 14 deserves nice things and our community delivered! 🎊🥚💐 After an egg-tastic hunt where 846+ young constituents scavenged through St. James Park for golden eggs, everyone enjoyed tunes, bouncy houses, popcorn, face painting, and even cartoon drawings.

I joined neighbors and colleagues throughout the city to honor the lives lost and impacted by the Jet Set tragedy in the Dominican Republic. My heart goes out to the individuals, their families, and loved ones as we continue to mourn together – across borders, while united in grief.

Congratulations to the tenants of 2770 Kingsbridge Terrace and NWBCCC on your precedent-setting win! After years of unjust rent increases, NYS DHCR has ordered the landlord to reimburse tenants for years of fraudulent Major Capital Improvements (MCIs). Our work doesn’t stop here.
