KEY FACTS
Rent stabilization freeze: One of the core promises of his campaign, Mamdani proposes appointing members to the city’s Rent Guidelines Board (which determines price increases for rent-stabilized units) who would halt rent increases on New York’s roughly 960,600 rent stabilized apartments, reversing the board’s approach of approving annual rent increases underMayor Eric Adams’ administration.
City-Owned Grocery Stores: Five city-owned grocery stores would be opened under Mamdani’s plan, one in each borough which he says would avoid rent and property taxes, in an effort to lower the cost of food—an effort harshly criticized by billionaire Gristedes supermarkets owner John Catsimatidis, who told the New York Post he would consider moving his business conglomerate to New Jersey should Mamdani win the general election.
Arresting Benjamin Netanyahu: Mamdani in December said he would not welcome the Israeli prime minister to the city, who was issued an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court last November: “As mayor of New York City, I would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, this is a city that our values are in line with international law, it’s time that our actions are also,” Mamdani said (the U.S. is not a signatory member of the ICC).
Free buses and childcare: Mamdani is proposing making bus fares across the city completely free, an expansion of a pilot program that made five bus lines free last year, as well as funding universal childcare for all children ages six weeks through five years, primarily through funding and supporting early childcare centers.
Regulating delivery apps: Mamdani is proposing new regulations on delivery apps like GrubHub and Uber Eats, including requiring firms to standardize how they pay their cyclists and allow customers to tip at the start of an order—DoorDash donated $1 million to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s super PAC in May and some delivery apps became major backers of his mayoral campaign.
Creating a “Mom-and-Pop czar”: Despite the pushback from some business owners like Catsimatidis, Mamdani is also proposing a new office to promote small businesses, aiming to slash fines, fees and regulations for small businesses and enact a 500% funding increase for the city’s Business Express Service Teams that help businesses deal with permitting and compliance.
