Councilmember Kristy Marmorato's Weekly Newsletter

Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato

Dear Neighbors,

This past week, we continued our commitment to supporting our community businesses, visiting a local school community, and partnering with HPD. It is always a joy to engage with our amazing community and ensure we keep providing valuable events that meet the needs of our constituents.

In this newsletter, you will find details about the district events that took place this week, along with information on various upcoming events we have planned.

It is an honor to represent you in the New York City Council and continue fighting to keep our community safe, healthy, and prosperous!

Sincerely,

Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato

District 13, Bronx

Hosting HPD in D13! April 23rd, 2025

Last Wednesday, we were proud to host NYC Housing Preservation & Development in District 13!

This was a valuable opportunity to discuss affordable housing, tenant protections, and neighborhood preservation efforts. We’re committed to continuing this vital work with our community and city partners.

Hot Meals/Food Giveaway! April 24th, 2025

Last Thursday, we held a successful hot meals and food giveaway event, providing warm, nutritious meals to families across District 13 at the Morris Park Community Association.

We’re grateful to our partners and volunteers who helped make it happen, and we remain committed to supporting our neighbors in need.

Visit at St Clare of Assisi and St. Francis Xavier School! April 28th, 2025

On Monday morning, the Councilwoman had the distinct pleasure of visiting St. Clare of Assisi – St. Francis Xavier School.

It was truly a joy to spend time with such bright, kind, and talented students whose energy and curiosity were inspiring.

A heartfelt thank you to the school’s leadership, dedicated teachers, and hardworking staff for the warm welcome and for the incredible work you do every day to educate, guide, and uplift our children. Your commitment to their growth and success is deeply appreciated!

Small Business Spotlight April 29th, 2025

For over a decade, Sue and her Green Market have been a cherished part of our community — a place where neighbors gather, local produce thrives, and relationships grow.

When an unregulated fruit vendor suddenly caused Sue’s business to drop by 15% in just two days, we didn’t hesitate to act.

Small businesses like Sue’s are the heart of our neighborhoods, and they deserve strong, fair protection.

We're committed to standing up for them — always!

Constituent Case Highlight!

Several cars were towed in District 13 last week as part of ongoing efforts to address traffic and parking concerns. We thank the NYPD 49th Precinct for their continued partnership in keeping our streets clear and safe for everyone.
