After two Syracuse landlords left residents to live with unsafe lead hazards, we're forcing them to create a relief fund for impacted tenants and fix lead violations.
Too many New Yorkers are exposed to toxic lead in their homes because of unfit landlords.

It was great to join @mintimm.bsky.social and @reproductivefreedomforall.org to talk about my work fighting to protect New Yorkers.
As our rights are under attack, protecting the sacred right to vote is more important now than ever.
Check out our conversation:
My heart is heavy after this tragic shooting in Louisiana today.
I’m praying for the family and loved ones of these children taken from us far too soon.
This week, we won our trial against Live Nation and Ticketmaster after they took advantage of fans and artists with their illegal monopoly.
I’ll keep fighting for fans, artists, and venues nationwide.
In a big victory for customers across the nation, a court has stopped Nexstar’s merger with Tegna as our lawsuit continues.
This win ensures local news remains independent and fees don’t climb higher.
I'll keep fighting to enforce the law and protect the future of local TV.
I'm thrilled @32bjseiu.bsky.social’s residential workers will get their fair contract!
These workers have been steadfast support systems and lifelines for their residents, and they should have the pay, working conditions, and pensions they deserve.
I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Minerva Solla. Minerva worked as a fearless community leader and organizer for @nynurses.bsky.social and dedicated herself to fighting for New Yorkers. I'm thinking of her family and loved ones during this time.
After finding that NewYork-Presbyterian failed to properly treat patients experiencing mental health emergencies, my office stepped in to force meaningful changes.
No New Yorker should be left without care in their most vulnerable moments.
My heart is heavy tonight after we lost a 15-year-old to a senseless act of gun violence.
I’m praying for his family, loved ones, and community.
I will continue to work tirelessly every day to end gun violence in New York.
In a major victory, the House voted to protect TPS for our Haitian communities.
Now, the Senate must pass the bill to keep people safe and stop families from being needlessly torn apart.
We will keep fighting to protect our Haitian neighbors.
We took down a major drug trafficking ring in the Capital Region and Hudson Valley that flooded communities from NYC to Albany with $350,000 worth of heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl.
I'll continue my work to keep New Yorkers safe and get dangerous opioids off our streets.
I’m proud to support @32bjseiu.bsky.social’s residential workers as they fight for the fair wages, health care, and pensions they deserve.
These workers make our buildings feel like home across our entire city, and they deserve a contract that honors their tireless work.
My office secured the indictment of Olof Olsson, a former board member of the Swedish Seamen’s Church, who stole over $3.8 million from church donations for his own gain.
When people donate to their church, they should be able to trust that their money will support its mission.
Today's victory against Live Nation and Ticketmaster is a historic win for fans, artists, venues, and the rule of law.
We just won our trial against Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
A jury ruled in our favor and is holding the companies responsible for their illegal monopoly that cost consumers millions of dollars.
This is a landmark victory to protect New Yorkers from harmful monopolies.
Junk fees have plagued New Yorkers for far too long.
That’s why my office has been fighting to end these illegal scams and make New York a place everyone can afford to live and work in.
Happy Arab American Heritage Month!
This month, we celebrate the culture, history, and contributions of Arab American communities in New York and across our country.
1StopBedrooms, a Brooklyn furniture store, illegally charged consumers hundreds of dollars for furniture only to deliver it late or damaged.
We're making 1StopBedrooms refund the customers it cheated, and I'll keep fighting to stop companies from taking advantage of New Yorkers.
This evening marks Yom HaShoah, where we honor and remember the six million Jews who were killed and the survivors whose lives were never the same.
We say their names and tell their stories.
We must stand united to fight antisemitism and hate in all its forms.
It's no secret that we are facing a housing affordability crisis. Yet, corporate landlords are still adding hidden junk fees, driving up prices further.
I'm urging the FTC to address this deceptive pricing and to set clear standards to protect New Yorkers' time and money.
My office and a group of AGs are urging the Supreme Court to stop this administration’s illegal attempt to cancel TPS for Haitian and Syrian immigrants.
For generations, we've welcomed those fleeing danger to build a life here. I'll keep fighting to protect our families.
Mental health care is necessary medical care.
Hospitals have a legal and moral obligation to treat these crises with urgency and compassion.
I'll always fight so New Yorkers can access the care they need and deserve.
My office found major failures in NewYork-Presbyterian’s emergency mental health care, patient safety, and psychiatric bed capacity.
Now, we're forcing NewYork-Presbyterian to make reforms to protect patients, strengthen oversight, and help ensure no one is left without care.
Tax Day is April 15, and we're urging New Yorkers to be on the lookout for scammers trying to steal your money and personal information.
Let's keep you safe this tax season.
Contact my office if you think you have been targeted by a scam:

My office and @dec.ny.gov stopped three wholesalers from selling illegal and dangerous pesticides in the Bronx.
New Yorkers should never have to worry that the products being sold in their communities could seriously harm their families.
For over three decades, Congressman Eliot Engel dedicated himself to serving New Yorkers in Westchester and the Bronx, and New York is grateful for his service to our state.
My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
May his memory be a blessing.
Time and again, the Trump administration has overreached and played politics with Americans' livelihoods.
We've taken them on in court, and we're winning. I will always fight to defend New Yorkers and the rule of law.
A court has blocked the Trump administration from illegally demanding student data from colleges as our lawsuit continues.
I won't stop fighting until all of our students are safe from these dangerous attacks.
I'm proud to see @nyclu.org, @maketheroadny.bsky.social, and @legalaidnyc.bsky.social fight to uphold the Constitution and protect the rights of all New Yorkers.
No one should live in fear of being targeted by masked federal agents because of the color of their skin.
