"In his first weeks in office, Mamdani has moved on several initiatives that directly affect the borough. He revived the Just Home supportive housing project at Jacobi Hospital, a development that stalled last year. He advanced plans for new bus lanes along Fordham Road, one of the city's busiest corridors. And through his Rental Ripoff hearings, he has pledged to bring city officials into the Bronx for public sessions focused on housing conditions and tenant protections."
"Still, for many residents, 50 days is too soon to render a verdict. Along Fordham Road's busy bus corridor, the reaction was measured and Bronx residents say it is simply too early to decide what kind of mayor he will be. I really don't have any complaints so far. I just want to see how this plays out, personally, Anthony Perez, 34, said."
Mamdani revived the Just Home supportive housing project at Jacobi Hospital, a development that stalled the previous year. He advanced plans for new bus lanes along Fordham Road and initiated Rental Ripoff hearings to bring city officials into the Bronx for public sessions on housing conditions and tenant protections. Voters were attracted by promises of affordable housing, faster and free buses, and stronger protections for working-class New Yorkers. Many Bronx residents remain cautious after 50 days in office and say it is too early to judge his mayoralty. Some residents praised his recognition of immigrants and support for striking nurses; others criticized the storm response and expressed public-safety concerns.
