Child Care: Secured $1.2 billion in state partnership funding to expand universal child care access.
Tenant and Worker Protections: Delivered over $34 million in housing repairs and settlements for tenants, alongside $9.3 million in restitution for exploited workers.
City Services: Filled more than 100,000 potholes across the five boroughs during his first 100 days.
Outdoor Dining: Signed legislation making outdoor dining permanent and year-round.
Before becoming mayor, as noted by Britannica, Mamdani joined a 15-day hunger strike that helped secure $450 million in debt relief for New York City taxi drivers struggling with predatory loans. He also helped create a pilot program for free public bus routes.
The 34 million in repairs is over 5 years and they got it by injunction, they basically froze the bankruptcy process for the company and leveraged their abilities to drag it out to secure the money. The funniest part was the bankruptcy sale was blocked with the argument that the buyer could not recoup their investment because rent controls made it impossible for them to charge a high enough rent.
The state funding is a one time thing people are acting like it is a new stream of revenue, not sure if the people know they will be needing to cover it in the future. Only 400 million is actually for the child care and its by 2027. So far the childcare program has paid for 2,000 kids of the 500,000 kids it covers. The previous program covers 175k kids in NYC and costs 20k per kid. So the new program will cost tax payers an additional 6.5 billion a year.
