Wishing peace, joy, and blessings to all celebrating Eid al-Adha!

Today we honor all service members who gave the last full measure of devotion to defend our country.
May their bravery and patriotism guide us on this solemn Memorial Day.

My office is aware of a planned "protest" this evening targeting the Young Israel of Jamaica Estates. I have been in contact with the 107th NYPD Precinct who will be deploying officers to keep the community safe.

I am deeply disturbed by this action that comes off the heels of multiple incidents of antisemitic vandalism and intimidation in Queens and throughout New York. We cannot tolerate hate of any kind and I strongly denounce any action targeting a house of worship. Jewish New Yorkers deserve to feel safe at home, at prayer, and in the community.

Wishing a joyful Mother’s Day Weekend! I hope the weekend is filled with appreciation and time spent with loved ones.

My office was notified this morning by NYC Emergency Management about the explosion and subsequent five alarm fire in South Richmond Hill.
I want to commend the professionalism and bravery of our first responders from the NYPD and New York City Fire Department (FDNY) whose quick actions saved lives and prevented further tragedy.

As of this evening, I've been made aware that FDNY has placed the incident "under control" and Fire Marshals will continue to investigate the incident.
NYC Buildings has issued a full vacate to the fire building and 107-53 130th Street which is a two-story building with two residential units.
NYPD remains on scene providing site security and enforcing street closures.
