The New York City Council on Thursday voted to override 17 vetoes that former Mayor Eric Adams issued on his last day of office, Dec. 31, 2025.
The lawmakers reinstated a broad package of legislation, passed with supermajority, veto-proof support in late 2025, addressing issues such as housing affordability, worker protections, street vending reform, government accountability and survivor justice. Three additional vetoes were not overridden and will stand, after failing to reach the two-thirds threshold required under the City Charter on Thursday.
