News Manhattan____________________________________________________Fees Undermine Fair‑Rent Law in NYCSince the FARE Act took effect June 11 banning broker fees, tenants report new disguised charges—labelled management or technology fees—up to $4,200, circumventing the ban. The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection has received nearly 300 complaints. Tenant advocates urge renters to document these charges. Platforms like Zillow are updating listings, while City Councilmember Chi Osse emphasizes enforcement to close loopholes 33‑Year‑Old Mamdani Shakes Up Mayoral RaceZohran Mamdani, a 33‑year‑old democratic socialist from Queens, is gaining traction in the mayoral primary with proposals for free buses, rent freezes, and city‑run grocery stores funded by taxing the wealthy. His grassroots campaign, fueled by small donations and public matching funds, contrasts sharply with Andrew Cuomo’s big‑money super‑PAC. Mamdani’s surge among under‑45 voters alarms the business community Cuomo vs. Mamdani: Heated Final Campaign DaysWith early voting underway ahead of the June 24 primary, Cuomo criticizes Mamdani’s refusal to denounce globalize the intifada, while Mamdani emphasises his anti‑violence stance amid rising threats—including a car‑bomb warning. Cuomo’s super‑PAC, backed by Bloomberg, pours in $8.3 million. Meanwhile, Lander cross‑endorses Mamdani in a symbolic unity move Comptroller Lander Arrested by ICE at CourthouseOn June 17, NYC Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was briefly detained by ICE agents after intervening during an immigrant’s hearing at Federal Plaza. Allegations of assault were later dropped, and video showed him demanding a judicial warrant. Governor Hochul denounced the arrest, fueling Lander’s campaign narrative on immigrant rights Bernie Sanders Endorses MamdaniSen. Bernie Sanders endorsed Zohran Mamdani on June 17, bolstering the progressive’s insurgent campaign with high-profile support. The back-to-back endorsements from Sanders and AOC amplify momentum in the June 24 primary, creating a stark contrast with Cuomo’s establishment backing Ranked‑Choice Voting Explained Ahead of PrimaryNYC’s June 24 Democratic primary uses ranked‑choice voting, allowing voters to list up to five preferences. With frontrunners Cuomo and Mamdani, plus Lander and others, this system ensures a majority winner but could complicate results. NYC follows 17 states using similar methods. Historic Heat Wave Threatens Primary TurnoutA record-smashing heat wave looms over the June 24 primary, with temperatures hitting 100 °F Monday and 102 °F Tuesday—the hottest in over a century. Officials warn the heat could depress turnout, especially among older voters, and urge hydration and limited outdoor activity First Heat Wave of Summer Hits NYCThe region’s first major heat wave has arrived, sending temperatures into the 90s and prompting excess heat watches across the Tri‑State area. The National Weather Service warns of health risks and urges caution amid lingering humidity . NYC Courts Face Staff Shortage CrisisCourt officers vacancies have hit 35%, creating security gaps and stretched dockets. Applications have declined from 110,000 a decade ago to around 28,000 now, largely due to pension changes. Unions warn of increased courthouse violence and blocked attempts to supplement staff. Wire‑Fraud Charges Hit Former Assembly CandidateOn June 13, the NYC Department of Investigation announced charges against a former state Assembly candidate for alleged wire fraud. Previously, in early June, District Attorney Bragg secured a guilty plea from Valor Security for operating a sham safety training scheme, and court documents emerged on Bronx fraud rings targeting affordable-housing seekers.

The meeting was intended to coordinate disarmament, hostages, and post-conflict planning Medicare Advantage Decision Shocks RetireesOn June 20, Mayor Adams announced that NYC will leave Medicare Advantage plans despite a favorable court ruling. Retired municipal workers now face changes in benefits, leading to backlash from senior advocacy groups . Public Art Transforms Former Subway StoresOn June 18, THE CITY reported murals by New Yorkers with disabilities transformed abandoned subway storefronts into vibrant public galleries—opening in various borough locations, the project blends accessibility, expression, and community renewal thecity.nyc. Mayor clashed with the City Coun over proposed budget cuts to libraries and cultural programs, while also defending his administration’s handling of the migrant crisis. Governor announced a new subway safety plan, deploying additional NYPD officers and mental health teams. A federal judge also blocked part of the city’s new law regulating Airbnb rentals, citing conflicts with state regulations. EconomicManhattan’s office vacancy rate hit a record 18.1%, raising concerns about the future of commercial real estate. However, tourism showed strong recovery, with hotel occupancy nearing pre-pandemic levels. The city also approved a $15 minimum wage for Uber and Lyft drivers after years of protests, marking a major victory for labor advocates. ElectionsThe Democratic primary remained too close to call in a race dominated by debates over Israel and policing. Meanwhile, early jockeying began for the 2025 mayoral race, with potential challengers quietly gauging support against Mayor Adams.

Unionized hotel workers also ratified a new contract, securing raises and better benefits. LegalA federal judge temporarily halted part of the city’s short-term rental law, dealing a blow to Mayor Adams’ housing policies.
