Mayor Zohran Mamdani marked his first day in office with a flurry of activity, signing five executive orders that set the tone for his new administration.<\/p>\n
The first order repealed all executive orders issued by former Mayor Eric Adams following the day Adams was federally indicted. Mamdani said the move reflected a moment when \u201cmany New Yorkers decided that politics had nothing for them but more of the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
His second order formally appointed his five deputy mayors and outlined the structure of his administration. The remaining three focused heavily on one of Mamdani\u2019s central campaign themes: housing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will also stand up for tenants, build new housing, and get New Yorkers into housing faster,\u201d Mamdani said.<\/p>\n
As part of that housing agenda, the mayor announced two new task forces, LIFT (Land Inventory Fast Track) and SPEED (Streamlining Procedures to Expedite Equitable Development),<\/b> aimed at speeding up home construction, including development on city-owned land by July 1. He also appointed housing advocate Cea Weaver to lead the restored Office to Protect Tenants.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will make sure that 311 violations are resolved, and we will hold slumlords to account for hazardous and dangerous threats to your well-being,\u201d Mamdani added.<\/p>\n
The executive orders were signed in the lobby of a Pinnacle-owned building in Crown Heights, part of a portfolio of properties with conditions so severe that Mamdani announced his administration is now intervening in their bankruptcy sale to protect tenants.<\/p>\n
The mayor toured the troubled units, including apartments previously covered by News 12. He did not say whether the city has the authority to block the sale, but tenants expressed hope for change.<\/p>\n
\u201cI need the next landlord to not be a slumlord,\u201d said Tamar Gressel, a Pinnacle tenant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mayor Zohran Mamdani marked his first day in office with a flurry of activity, signing five executive orders…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":486464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,19887,405,403,16087,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,5301],"class_list":{"0":"post-486463","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-executive-orders","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-city","12":"tag-new-york-city-mayor","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkcity","15":"tag-ny","16":"tag-nyc","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa","23":"tag-zohran-mamdani"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115824022589659622","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=486463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
