Description

City jails officials say a plan to move detainees with serious health conditions off Rikers Island and into state-of-the-art hospital units has been delayed by several years. Also, Mayor Eric Adams is lifting a cap on electric taxis that's been in place for two years. Meanwhile, the New York Liberty lost to Las Vegas Aces yesterday, who become back-to-back champions. Finally, a century-old building on the Upper East Side is getting some much taller neighbors. Construction is well underway on a pair of high-rise buildings that envelope the five-story walk-up. WNYC Housing reporter David Brand talked with a tenant about what it’s like living in a construction site.
