Dear New Yorker,
We continue to work with the victims of the Bronx fire in January. Earlier this week, Mayor Adams signed Executive Order 12 to strengthen fire safety enforcement and outreach in the aftermath of the tragic Twin Parks apartment fire in January. This will increase coordination between FDNY and HPD inspectors to identify safety violations earlier and increase fire safety compliance. FDNY and HPD will also launch a broad campaign to educate New Yorkers on fire safety.
Mayor Adams announced the expansion of the NYPD Neighborhood Safety Teams to five additional precincts at Manhattan's 25th and 28th precinct, Brooklyn's 69th precinct, Queen’s 114th precinct, and Staten Island's 120th precinct. Six days after launching the program, the NYPD made 31 arrests and removed 10 guns from our streets - that's about one gun removed from our streets each day.
Mayor Adams announced that masks will be optional for 2-4 year old children in schools and daycare settings starting Monday, April 4th. Two weeks ago, the City removed the mask mandate for K-12 public school children and found that our percent positivity in schools remained low. In addition, Mayor Adams expanded the performer exemption to the city’s private employer vaccine mandate, putting New York City-based performers on a level playing field with performers based outside of the city. The previous double standard hurt the city’s economy and put New York sports teams at a self-imposed competitive disadvantage. We will continue to follow the data and the science as we reopen our City.
This week we continued having community roundtables. On Tuesday, we engaged the Muslim community leaders. On Thursday, we had a discussion with the Transgender People of Color community. We will work together to get stuff done for New Yorkers across all communities in New York City.
Mayor Adams announced the reappointment of Cecile Noel as commissioner of the Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV), Laurie Cumbo as Department of Cultural Affairs Commission, Elizabeth Crotty as Business Integrity Commission Commissioner and Chair, and Abby Jo Sigal as executive director of the Mayor’s Office of Talent and Workforce Development.
We wish the Greek community a Happy Greek Independence Day!
In partnership,
Fred Kreizman
Commissioner, Mayor's Community Affairs Unit
