Dear Fellow New Yorker, As the fall season continues, we take great pride in honoring the vibrant cultures and communities that make New York City so special.
Last few weeks, we had the joy of celebrating Italian Heritage, Hispanic Heritage and Diwali at Gracie Mansion. These celebrations were a powerful reminder of the traditions, contributions, and shared values that connect us all. From music and art to food and family, our city continues to thrive because of the diversity and unity that define us as New Yorkers. As we celebrate these heritages, we also take this moment to extend our warmest wishes to everyone who observed the Jewish High Holidays. May this season of reflection bring you peace, joy, and renewal.
Lastly, October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to come together as a city to support survivors, raise awareness, and strengthen our shared commitment to compassion, safety, and justice. When we stand united, we send a clear message that every New Yorker deserves to live free from fear and full of hope. To learn more about available resources and how you can help, please click on the link.
For the latest updates, follow CAU on Twitter and Facebook, All the best,
Fred Kreizman

Know Your Rights as a NYC Tenant!
Every renter in New York City has rights, and now there’s a clear, easy-to-read guide to help you understand them. The Tenant Bill of Rights, created by the NYC Tenant Protection Cabinet, outlines essential tenant protections, including the right to a safe and well-maintained home, protection against unlawful eviction, and safeguards against landlord harassment. The guide also explains tenants' rights in rent-stabilized units and buildings covered by the Good Cause Eviction law.
Explore your rights and get connected to support: on.nyc.gov/TPC.
