If a bin marks your neighborhood on this map, your community district will have rat-proof trash containers and automated side-loading garbage trucks by the end of 2027!

Every neighborhood in New York City will be containerized by the end of 2031.

Tough day for rats, good day for New Yorkers.

We carry a responsibility to prove that government is worthy of the people it serves.

A week ago, we marked our first 100 days.

We will work every day to honor the promises we made to New Yorkers — and to fulfill the mission of the movement that brought us here.

Good news for New Yorkers, bad news for rats: all trash will be in rat-proof bins by the end of 2031.

No more black bags on the sidewalks — it’s time to put a lid on it.

Last year, I told New Yorkers: we would open city-owned grocery stores to take on the affordability crisis.

Today, we're delivering five stores in each borough — with the first opening next year.

Here's to healthy families, thriving communities, and promises kept.

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate.

Taxing billionaires is not radical.

What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

“To all Sikh New Yorkers: Happy Khalsa Sajna Diwas and Vaisakhi!

This joyous holiday commemorates the founding of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh ji, a defining moment that established the Sikh identity and its call to serve humanity selflessly, protect the religious rights of all, and stand against political oppression, tyranny, & discrimination.

May we all carry forward the spirit of Vaisakhi as we work together to build a city rooted in freedom and belonging for all.”

On Yom HaShoah, we pause to remember
the six million Jewish victims of the Nazis’ systematic program of mass murder, along with the millions of others murdered by the Hitler regime. We remember the scale of this horror, and the systems of hatred and dehumanization that made it possible —
and that still echo in our world today.

In New York City, home to more Holocaust survivors than anywhere else in this country, that memory lives among us and shapes who we are. The resilience of survivors is woven into the very fabric of this city, and it calls on all of us to act with courage and clarity in the face of injustice.

Today, as antisemitism rises once more, we are reminded that remembrance alone is not enough. We must confront hate wherever it appears.

As we light the yahrzeit candle, let us come together to protect its fragile flame — and shield it from the cold winds of hate and cruelty. 
 
“Never again” is a promise. And it is one we must fight to keep.

This morning, I became the first New York City Mayor to visit Housing Court. And what I saw will stay with me for a long time. Families on the brink of losing their homes. Tenants navigating unsafe conditions, harassment, and uncertainty, searching for justice in an overwhelming system. Small property owners trying to keep up with their mortgage payments.
I met with Chief Administrative Judge Joseph Zayas, New York City Administrative Judge Shahabuddeen Ally, and other members of the bench, and I walked through Resolution, HP, and NYCHA Parts. I spoke with people in intake, with legal service providers, and with the advocates who show up every day to stand beside New Yorkers who need support.
Housing court is where the promises we make about dignity, stability and public excellence are tested in real time.
In the months ahead, my team will work closely with the Chief Judge and the Chief
Administrative Judge to confront the concerns we heard - directly from judges, tenants, landlords, legal service providers, and advocates.

Yesterday, I visited an apartment in Harlem with HPD inspectors to check for lead-based paint and other hazards.

To protect families, NYC requires inspections of homes built before 1960 with children under 6.

If your home has lead-based paint, or other hazards, call 311 or file a complaint online.

“I have been briefed on an incident that occurred at Grand Central Station this morning. Reports indicate a man slashed three people on the platform with a machete. Officers shot the man when he did not drop the machete. He has since been pronounced dead.

I’m grateful to the NYPD for their quick response and for preventing additional violence. The three victims were taken to the hospital and are thankfully in stable condition. The NYPD is conducting an internal investigation and will release body-worn camera footage, as it does in all incidents involving the discharge of an officer's firearm.”

“Today, New York City mourns the passing of Eliot Engel, a son of the Bronx who dedicated decades of his life to public service.

From his early days as a teacher and guidance counselor to his 16 terms in Congress, Rep. Engel fought for single-payer health care, defended the environment, and cared for both the communities he served and the future of this city.

My thoughts are with his family and loved ones. May his memory be a blessing.”

Child care that ends at 3 p.m. doesn't work for many working families. So we're changing it.

This fall, our 2-K program will pilot year-round care for 2-year-olds, with a full 10-hour day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Because truly "universal" child care matches the reality of working people's lives.
