Hurricane Sandy's eighth anniversary, a U.S. COVID record, and the death of climate-justice leader Cecil Corbin-Mark opened the session in mourning, with 43 Sandy dead honored in a moment of silence. Then the Council legislated: widening Local Law 97's building-emissions caps and barring landlords from rejecting tenants whose income is vouchers, child support, or alimony. Robert Cornegy warned of small-landlord costs but voted yes; Kalman Yeger alone abstained, agreeing 'with the principal idea' yet balking at enforcement. Ben Kallos accused Mayor de Blasio of breaking his promise to give ever

The amended bill aligning the city's human rights law with new state source-of-income protections was taken up, notably repealing the carve-out for buildings of five or fewer units and broadening lawful income to include child support, alimony, and other housing assistance.
This amended measure reworks Local Law 97's reach over rent-regulated housing: buildings where rent-regulated units make up less than 35% of the total must meet LL97's greenhouse-gas caps, with a two-year extension for the newly covered to hit their first emissions limits; buildings at 35% or more stay unchanged.
Council Member Constantinides's amended bill was taken up to require the city to report to the mayor and Council on its LL97 outreach, incentive programs, and funding sources, and to make building owners disclose the methods they use to comply.
Council Member Diana Ayala's amended bill came up to require DSS to hand CityFEPS applicants written notice about source-of-income discrimination at the moment they receive their shopping letter from the agency.
Council Member Levin's measure was taken up in its amended form, requiring the Department of Social Services to give CityFEPS rental-assistance applicants online updates on the status of their applications.
