After years of advocacy, curbside composting will finally be a reality for all New Yorkers this October 6th!  Whether you rent or own, live in a single-family building or a building with hundreds of units, you’re eligible to compost – and it’s as easy as taking out your trash or recycling. Over the last two years, our office has pushed for curbside composting in Manhattan, and has awarded nearly $100,000 to community organizations across Manhattan educating Manhattanites and providing composting operations across the borough. Universal curbside composting is the next big push in our borough’s efforts to prevent waste and protect our environment.

Each month, more than 5% of vehicles passing through speed cameras, red light cameras, and toll stations operated by the NYC Department of Transportation, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority are unreadable. 80,000 – 95,000 license plate images passing through DOT-operated cameras alone are unreadable every month. Read our plan to keep fraudulent and obstructed license plates off of Manhattan’s streets.

Today we are experiencing intense demand for housing, a severe shortage of supply, and an anemic rate of production. It’s time we address our housing affordability crisis by bringing our zoning code into the 21st century.
