Smoke from Canadian wildfires is expected to drift over the Northeast on Monday. “North winds will bring some smoke from the Canadian wildfires back into the region today,” the National Weather Service in New York posted on social media on Monday. “The impacts are projected to be mild, though New Yorkers will likely see hazy skies in the morning,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. “Smoke at high altitudes may be visible,” he posted on social media. The event is not expected to be as severe as smoke was during the summer.

Cars drive along a flooded street on Church Avenue amid a coastal storm on September 29, 2023 in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn borough New York City. And more than a decade after Hurricane Sandy forced officials to rethink the meaning of climate resilience in New York City, it appears there's still much to be done. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for New York City, Long Island and the Hudson Valley, calling the storm a "life-threatening rainfall event." The storm caused about $19 billion in damage to New York City. In densely populated cities like New York, flooding risks are heightened because of the built environment and lack of green spaces.

☆ Judge Blocks Migrants From Former School, Questioning Shelter Guarantee

A judge on Staten Island temporarily blocked New York City on Tuesday from using a former school as an emergency shelter for migrants, in a decision that could have broader implications for the city’s long-established obligation to offer shelter to anyone who asks for it. The city has struggled to provide housing to the more than 110,000 migrants who have entered its shelter system since early last year, in part because of a decades-old legal obligation, known as “right to shelter,” that requires it to provide a bed for anyone who is homeless and asks for one. Citing “right to shelter," Mayor Eric Adams issued an emergency order that let the city bypass the normal review process for opening homeless shelters. But on Tuesday, Justice Wayne Ozzi of State Supreme Court wrote that the “right to shelter” does not exist, and ordered the Staten Island school emptied. The ruling came in a suit against the city and state brought by a man who lives near the school and eight Republican city, state and federal elected officials who represent the island, New York City’s most conservative borough.

New York City is implementing new rules in its homeless shelters in what officials said was an effort to reduce crowding as thousands of migrants continue to arrive from the southern border. New York is required by law to provide shelter to anyone who asks for it, but Mayor Eric Adams announced in July that adult migrants without children would be allowed to stay in city shelters for only 60 days before having to reapply for beds. The city has since issued about 13,000 notices of the 60-day limit, and for about 50 people that end date was Saturday. On Friday, the mayor announced another change: The time limit for migrants who reapply for shelter would be just 30 days, a shift first reported by The City. “We have now reached a point where we are full and must take action to move people seeking asylum more quickly through our shelter system,” Anne Williams-Isom, the deputy mayor for health and human services, said on Friday.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced his plans for major new housing policy reforms. The proposal aims to create 100,000 new homes, addressing the housing shortage and sky-high costs. Over the last decade alone, New York City has created 800,000 new jobs, but just 200,000 new units of housing, he said. Another key reason New York City has failed to build enough housing for decades: community opposition. Kathy Hochul failed to get her own housing reforms passed by the state legislature this year.

Mayor Eric Adams is proposing a major overhaul of New York City’s approach to development that his administration says could make way for as many as 100,000 additional homes in the coming years and ease the city’s severe housing crisis. The proposed reforms, which Mr. Adams is announcing on Thursday in remarks at Borough of Manhattan Community College, amount to his administration’s broadest and most ambitious attempt to tackle New York City’s housing shortage, which has been worsening for decades. Rules limiting growth have long made it difficult for enough homes to be built to accommodate everyone who wants to live here, driving up the cost of living. That, in turn, has raised a threat to the city’s economy as businesses struggle to keep workers and families have poured out of the city. The proposals could bring new housing development to nearly every corner of New York City and reflect a growing political consensus that the city must do everything it can to build.

But Mayor Eric Adams has sought to curtail who can come and stay in the care of the city, which has a unique legal obligation to provide shelter to any homeless person who asks for a bed. In an interview on CNN on Wednesday evening, Gov.

She also said that she agreed with the mayor’s goals to restrict the right-to-shelter guarantee.

But expediting work permits isn’t so easy, either legally or bureaucratically, experts in the process say. It would take an act of Congress to shorten a mandatory, six-month waiting period before asylum-seekers can apply for work permits. Maura Healey, who declared a state of emergency over the migrant influx, wrote Mayorkas that work permits represent “an opportunity to meet employer needs, support our economy, and reduce dependency among new arrivals.” And 19 Democratic state attorneys general wrote Mayorkas that work permits would reduce the strain on government to provide social services.

Another 2-year-old-boy, who had left the small ground-floor day care center shortly after noon, was taken to a hospital after his mother noticed an unusual lethargy had replaced a toddler’s normal energy. “This crisis is real, and it is a real wake‑up call for individuals who have opioids or fentanyl in their homes,” Mayor Adams said. “The mere contact is deadly for an adult and it’s extremely deadly for a child.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The owner of a New York City day care center and a tenant living in the building were arrested Saturday after a 1-year-old boy died and three other young children were sickened by what officials described as apparent exposure to opioids. The arrests came one day after authorities discovered four young children – ranging in age from 8 months to 2 years old – showing signs of suspected opioid overdose after spending time at the Bronx day care center, Divino Niño. Police say they found a kilo press — a device used to package large quantities of drugs — after executing a search warrant on the day care center, a home-based operation that opened in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx earlier this year. Nicholas’ parents, Zoila Dominici and Otoniel Feliz, said their young child had started attending the center only a week ago. Authorities have not indicated how they believe the children came in contact with the drug.

DocGo was already under scrutiny when its no-bid contract with New York City came to light, prompting questions about what services the company was providing — as well as the quality of those services. Neither the company nor city officials were willing to voluntarily disclose details of the contract. Earlier this month, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander said there were “numerous outstanding issues and concerns” that prompted him to reject the city's $432 million no-bid emergency contract with DocGo. DocGo began as a medical services company, describing itself on its website as delivering “high-quality medical care outside traditional hospital or clinic settings across our service lines: Mobile Health Care, Medical Transportation and Remote Patient Monitoring/Chronic Disease Management.

Of the more than 110,000 asylum seekers who have recently landed in New York City, 20,000 are children now enrolled in public schools, facing challenges both familiar to any kid who has moved away and towering in their emotional complexity. More than 8,600 children in the city lost a parent to Covid. In response to these and other troubling statistics, the Adams administration released a mental health plan last March with a focus on children and teenagers and the goal of expanding clinical services in schools. The migrant crisis has been imagined largely in terms of the housing emergencies that have flowed from it. “We are seeing the highest level of mental health need we have ever seen, in our city, in our clinic, in our country,” Alan Shapiro told me recently.

The Bronx, among the city’s boroughs, has been hit particularly hard by the drug, which can kill in minute quantities. On Saturday, at least one person was in police custody and being questioned, according to the police, and the New York City medical examiner’s office said an autopsy to determine Nicholas’s cause of death was scheduled. There were 2,668 fatal overdoses in the city in 2021, reaching “unprecedented levels,” according to data released by the city this year. The increase was driven by fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that was involved in 80 percent of overdose deaths that year, and residents of the Bronx had the highest rate of deaths, the city found. The day care, Divino Niño, is in the 52nd Precinct in the northern portion of the Bronx, which is among the areas hardest hit by fatal overdoses.

To the Editor:Re “Adams Says Migrant Crisis ‘Will Destroy’ the City” (news article, Sept. 8):New York has welcomed immigrants arriving in the United States in search of safety, hope and opportunity for centuries. Mayor Eric Adams’s claim that the migrant issue will “destroy New York City” is dangerous and intentionally dividing our diverse communities that are known to work together in the face of adversity. It is clear that overheated rhetoric and divisive, xenophobic proposals are poisoning opportunities to constructively welcome migrants in New York. In this pivotal moment, we must strive for inclusive and compassionate policies that reflect the true spirit of New York. The mayor and others must consider the far-reaching implications of incendiary rhetoric and embrace opportunities to build a more united, equitable city for all.
