Mr. Mamdani, a democratic socialist who ran on an #affordability agenda,
pledged during the campaign to freeze rent on the city’s nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments.“We know we are fighting for a #rent #freeze, but that is not the extent of our efforts,”
Mr. Mamdani said. “We will also stand up for tenants, build #new #housing and get New Yorkers into housing faster.”
Mamdani also signed an executive order #revoking all orders issued by former Mayor #Eric #Adams after his indictment in September 2024 on federal corruption charges.
He signed another to create the structure of his new administration with five #deputy #mayors.
Mr. Mamdani said that he revoked the orders that Mr. Adams’ issued after his indictment,
which was later dismissed at the request of the Trump administration,
because that was when Mr. Adams lost the public’s trust.Two executive orders that Mr. Mamdani revoked allowed federal immigration officials to investigate criminal activity at the #Rikers #Island #jail complex
and created an office focused on #blockchain technology, a passion of Mr. Adams who often talked about #cryptocurrency.

"When a federal judge ordered City Hall to make major structural improvements to its jails and release some people facing low level charges to alleviate overcrowding, reformers hailed what they described as a major legal victory.
Yet the case — known as 'Benjamin v. Malcolm' after the lead plaintiff and jail commissioner when it was filed in 1974 — has dragged on for 50 years and counting.
The litigation appears to be the longest open court case on the Manhattan federal docket, according to lawyers involved in it.
The case initially revolved around poor conditions tied to overcrowding as the population on Rikers Island and the city’s other jails swelled to approximately 13,000.
While space is no longer a major issue, the case has gradually morphed into federal oversight over environmental conditions such as fire safety, sanitation, and ventilation.
(. . .)
The office’s latest report, filed in July, revealed that some detainees were being held in a housing unit where the only ventilation vent was totally blocked after it was painted over during some prior fix-up. It also showed that multiple areas on Rikers lacked operational fire alarms and at least one housing unit was overrun by rodents."

CW: Rikers EricAdams
so #EricAdams isn't going to #Rikers ?
a friend who is a Public Defender
had a client who was never found guilty of anythingwho caught a skin disease at Rikers, and their skin fell off.
while the #nypd were trying to interrogate her in the hospital room, as their mother tried to comfort their dying child.
why isn't Adams going to the place he thought his fellow citizens should be?

The lawyers argued about whether or not evidence should be allowed in that relates to #AllenWeisselberg, the fmr #TrumpOrganization CFO, who is currently in #Rikers Island after pleading #guilty to #perjury.
The evidence is Weisselberg’s severance agreement which stipulates he will get an extra $2M if he does not cooperate w/any prosecutions of Trump.
The agreement would show that he is still waiting to be paid his full severance by the #Trump Org.
