A February 2023 stated meeting opened on grief , a moment of silence for an NYPD officer , then became a Black History Month tribute-fest under Speaker Adrienne Adams. The body co-named a wall of streets (Bangladesh Street in Jackson Heights, Jimmy Prince Way in Coney Island, Albert Vann's bedrock legacy) and pushed Diwali toward a school holiday. The lone policy fight: Gennaro's Int 470 phasing out No. 4 heating oil by mid-2024, which drew rare NO and abstain votes from Yeger, Vernikov, and Paladino. Members also queued up a flood of new bills , last-mile trucking, good-cause eviction, langua
