Warmer weather means enjoying more trips to beaches and city pools.

I want to encourage everyone to be careful whenever venturing into or near water. Beachgoers should always swim in areas where there are lifeguards present, be mindful of their instructions and heed warning flags when posted.

We want everyone to have a safe and happy summer.

New York is a world-class tourist destination and visitors arriving at our airports deserve a safe experience from the moment they get here. As we prepare to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup, my office is partnering with The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission to ensure that visitors are not exploited by unscrupulous drivers looking to take advantage of them.

Taxi hustling has no place in our city, and we will use every tool at our disposal to hold offenders accountable.

Queens triple-murderer landlord gets life without parole; ‘Never getting out!’ judge thunders 06/10/2026

This defendant was found guilty of a devastating triple murder, taking the lives of three people over a rental dispute and a lover’s quarrel.

His imposed sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole reflects the gravity of these horrific crimes and ensures that the defendant is held fully accountable for the devastation he has caused.

Queens triple-murderer landlord gets life without parole; ‘Never getting out!’ judge thunders “I’m sure there’s a special place in hell for someone like you,” Queens Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Holder told David Daniel in a fiery speech from the bench Tuesday.
