New York City Council

Welcome to the New York City Council's website, your gateway to the local government office dedicated to serving the vibrant communities of New York City. Located at 400 Rockaway Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11212, our council is committed to addressing the diverse needs of our city’s residents.

As a proactive force in local governance, the New York City Council is proud to announce the recent approval by the Council Land Use Committee for the rezoning of Bronx Metro-North Stations. This pivotal decision will pave the way for the construction of 7,000 new homes, providing much-needed relief amidst the current housing shortage.

Our council is also actively engaged in discussions and statements regarding key issues affecting our city. This includes addressing the Adams Administration’s claims on solitary confinement, evaluating the Mayor’s nomination of Randy Mastro as Corporation Counsel, and responding to the Mayor’s Charter Revision Commission's expedited ballot proposals to amend the City Charter.

In a collaborative effort, Speaker Adams and fellow council members have filed an advice-and-consent ballot question with the Board of Elections, set to appear on the upcoming November ballot. Furthermore, Speaker Adams and Mayor Adams are pleased to announce the full restoration of funding for libraries and cultural institutions in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget, ensuring these vital resources continue to thrive.

Our main office is based at New York City Hall, with additional council member offices located at 250 Broadway and within each district to ensure accessible governance. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our initiatives and how we are working to enhance the quality of life for all New Yorkers.
