Those are some interesting business choices heading into the Independence Day weekend. Fewer ticky tack vio's; more coming down with the full weight of the agency on bad actors. Tell ya friends. Tell ya friends. @NYC_Buildings.

And they all will be on the Staten Island Expressway shortly….
A record 72 million people are looking to get away for the 4th of July holiday, and the vast majority are expected to hit the roads. @elijahwestbrook has the story.

When I was an elected official, I tried to be as quick with a "thank you" as I was with a criticism. Good on you, @zellnor4ny. (Vinny Ignizio is still really cheap, but. 😉).
There is plenty of discourse to be had post-primary but you know what we’re not talking about? Bad Election Day experiences, uncertainty of results, long line horror stories, and the like. Thank you @BOENYC. Unsung guardians of our democracy, we appreciate you 🙏🏾.

Hearing @KMillar15 talk about his strike year experience was soooo good. A fantastic episode of Nothing Personal. The Statute of Limitations is up on this photo so I can share it. Kevin impersonating Scott Rolen's batting stance. Hilarious. A slice of baseball Heaven.
More great nuggets from @KMillar15.

🤯 “I'm shocked — shocked — to find that gambling is going on in here!”. Feign confusion. Point to the baseballs or anything other than the obvious. No truly independent testing of bat$. The NCAA is a farce. .
In the big leagues, only superstars like Aaron Judge can routinely crush the ball at speeds in excess of 115 mph. But in college baseball these days, everybody’s doing it.

As well-intended a policy is, it should never be wielded like a sword against those charged with ensuring the safety & well-being of the public. @NYC_Buildings and our partners like the great @FDNY are clear-eyed about our role — and public safety will always be our North Star.

I know you were just "doing your job," @NYC_Buildings inspectors and supervisors, but I want you to know you have my appreciation for being out in the field during this heatwave and not missing a beat! . 👏💪🙏

Our @NYC_Buildings Training Connect program hit another big milestone with the 50,000th Worker Wallet card being issued. It's about training. It's about training increasing safety. It's about ensuring the training & cards are legit!. The progress is real, the work continues.

I was really unpopular on The Rock -- especially at my own watering hole! And that first parade down Forest Avenue was ugly. 🙃. But Mayor Bloomberg was right. What a remarkable impact. Well done, @MikeBloomberg.

I remember like it was yesterday when in 2002 @HMihaltses asked @DrTomFrieden to speak with the City Council's two biggest anti-smoking zealots -- @chriscquinn and me -- about banning smoking in bars. Even my initial reaction was, "WTF?" . But that became a Quinn-Oddo bill. .
The global tobacco control movement has helped save tens of millions of lives, making it one of the most successful public health efforts in history - and the winners of the 2025 @BloombergDotOrg Awards for Global Tobacco Control exemplify the remarkable strides that can be made.

Encouraged that the NYS Assembly & Senate passed legislation crafting a better process of securing access agreements of adjoining property owners. This is a huge driver of some sidewalk sheds remaining up for long time without any work on the building happening. @NYC_Buildings.
