New York City’s mayoral election is just six days away, and with Democratic nominee and Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani leading in the polls, he has spent the past few weeks making more concrete policy plans for his potential administration.

The department has taken heat from the City Comptroller’s office this year for alleged wasteful spending, particularly at a single Brooklyn restaurant, as reported by amNewYork in July.
