Overview

• Mayor Eric Adams ended his campaign days ago but said his name will still appear on the Nov. 4 ballot.
• At his first public events since quitting — a Bronx building incident visit and an NYPD briefing — he said he is leaving the city in good shape and told his successor, “Don’t f— it up.”
• City officials reported major crimes have fallen for a seventh straight quarter, which Adams highlighted along with housing and education claims.
• Adams criticized front‑runner Zohran Mamdani’s proposals and declined to endorse, as reporting indicates Andrew Cuomo is seeking to consolidate support against Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa remains the GOP contender.
• The City Council advanced a housing‑ and climate‑focused legislative package, agencies released a draft NYC Industrial Plan for public feedback, and ‘rat czar’ Kathleen Corradi departed to join NYCHA.
