Mayor Eric Adams's administration is facing setbacks in its agenda, particularly with the involvement of new First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro. Mastro, known for obstructing local governance, is complicating Adams's plans for housing and sanitation by temporarily halting the eviction of the Elizabeth Street Garden and stopping ticketing for composting violations. Recent departures of four deputy mayors have further restricted progress, prompting concerns that the ambitious vision for the city, especially regarding trash management and housing, is at risk of stagnation as resistance grows within City Hall.
Mastro has reportedly thrown two key pieces of Adams's agenda in disarray by halting the eviction plans for the Elizabeth Street Garden and stopping tickets for composting violations.
Ingrid Lewis-Martin's indictment initially opened avenues for Adams's policies, but since the departure of four key deputy mayors, progress has significantly stalled.
