First 100 Days

Mayor Mamdani and HPD Commissioner Dina Levy released an updated list of 250 apartment buildings with the most severe housing code violations and placed them under heightened oversight through the Alternative Enforcement Program (AEP). The 250 buildings contain 7,038 apartments with 54,909 open violations and owe the city nearly $4.5 million for emergency repairs. AEP enables the city to conduct more frequent inspections and step in directly to make repairs when owners refuse, billing landlords for the cost.

Mayor Mamdani announced the opening of the $141 million Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. The 74,000-square-foot facility is the first new city-run recreation center built in 15 years and the first in central Brooklyn. It includes a competition-size pool, gymnasium, indoor walking track, classrooms, teaching kitchen, and media lab. Admission is free for anyone under 24 and low-cost for all New Yorkers.
