Dear New Yorkers,
Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised to freeze the rent on nearly a million regulated apartments as a signature part of his campaign. But his rent-freeze promise rests on the votes of the nine members of the independent Rent Guidelines Board.
He appointed five new members of that board and reappointed one more, giving him a majority of picks.
Their votes, by law, must be informed by the cost of living and conditions of the real estate industry. And New Yorkers got a first look at those factors on Thursday.
Rain showers mainly before 11 a.m. with the temperature falling to around 48 by 5 p.m.
MTA 🚇
In Brooklyn, no Manhattan-bound F trains between Avenue P and Avenue I from 9:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Find all the MTA’s planned changes and the latest delays here.
The City Council passed a pair of bills aimed at targeting hate across the city by creating “security perimeters” for protests around houses of worship and schools. The mayor has not yet said if he would sign them.
The MTA is aiming to boost the reliability of express bus lifts that are essential for wheelchair users who often encounter mechanical glitches and drivers who don’t know how they work.
An appeals court put on hold NYCHA’s ambitious plan to demolish and rebuild 2,000 public housing apartments in Manhattan’s upscale Chelsea neighborhood.
New York has the lowest homeownership rate in the country. But most of the lawmakers who represent New York in Congress, however, own their homes, a review by our partners at NOTUS found.
