Alex, seeing this again made my day. This is from Covid days when I was Boro Prez of Staten Island and we had to make our Readers Are Leaders event virtual. The current BP actually created this fantastic reading challenge in the 1990s. Our team was temporary stewards for 8 yrs.

We've now removed 374 long standing sidewalk sheds since @NYCMayor announced Get Sheds Down. We've already started work on our expansion of the long standing shed program to now include those standing 3+ years. Enjoy the recently remastered "In the Cage. " .@NYC_Buildings

Cross bracing on existing sidewalk sheds leaves New Yorkers feeing — with all respect to @PhilCollinsFeed (@itspetergabriel before him) and Genesis — like they’re in a cage. New shed designs we'll unveil later this year will “get me out of this cage…”. @Q1043 @KenDashow

The saying goes, “you should never meet your heroes.”. I am happy to say David Wright exceed my expectations every time. He was on his way to a Hall of Fame career, and he’s an even better human being. Congratulations & thank you,  No. 5. @mets #DavidWright #lgm

Seconds matter in saving lives. DO NOT PARK ON FIRE HYDRANTS. On June 27th, a second alarm fire broke out on Jesup Place in the Bronx – a fire that turned fatal, thanks in part to a parked car that blocked a hydrant. The owner of the car received a $4,000 fine following a

From protecting the integrity of our site safety card program to crafting appropriate rules to implement new policies like ADUs (we *will* do our jobs to best protect residents & @FDNYNYC firefighters who enter cellars and basements to fight fires), our North Star is clear.

At @NYC_Buildings we say it all the time: We are unique in that we are an economic development agency AND a public safety agency. We will never cede any ground on public safety. Everything we do must be seen through the prism of safety.

With construction safety, there is never a “Mission Accomplished” banner. It’s continual and we are only as good as the previous day we got all workers home safely. The 5 fatalities to date — 3 of which happened over the first 3 months of 2025 — are a tragic reminder of this.
