Embattled Adams Delivers Ambitious State of the City Address
By Michael V. Cusenza
To look at a positively beaming Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday at The Apollo Theater, one would never believe that he is facing a comprehensive federal indictment.
Adams, who was charged in September by federal prosecutors with bribery, campaign finance, and conspiracy offenses, delivered his fourth State of the City address with gusto, outlining a vision to make Gotham great again.
“Three years ago, I took the oath of office at a time when our city was facing serious setbacks and tough challenges. COVID and chaos had thrown New York into uncertainty and pushed too many families away,” Adams said. “Crime was surging, our economy was tanking, and our housing crisis was growing worse by the year. I told you then that there was no easy solution to these challenges, but with steady hands and bold leadership, we wouldn’t just bring New York City back; we would make it better than ever.”
Adams used Thursday’s speech to unveil new initiatives that he said will create a safer, more affordable city for working-class people, especially those raising a family, all across the five boroughs.
From Day One, Adams has made public safety the No. 1 priority of his administration. And on Thursday he claimed mission: accomplished. According to Hizzoner, “America’s safest big city” has gotten even safer. Overall crime continued to fall in 2024, including a 7.3-percent drop in shootings, a 3.6-percent drop in homicides, and a 5.4 percent drop in transit crime. Since coming into office, the Adams administration has seized nearly 20,000 illegal guns and over 80,000 ghost cars and illegal motorized vehicles, like ATVs and mopeds. The administration has also successfully cracked down on illegal smoke shops, shutting down more than 1,300 illegal shops this past year; tackled car theft, helping deliver 12 straight months of declines in 2024; and reduced dangerous lithium-ion battery fires, implementing strategies that led to a 72-percent decrease in lithium-ion battery fire deaths since introduction of a new plan in 2023.
Adams also announced on Thursday that the City will invest $650 million to bolster that work and expand s upport for N ew Yorkers living on subways, wrestling with serious mental illness, and at risk of entering city shelters.
To help move more New Yorkers off subways, as well as city streets, and into shelters, the Adams administra -
tion will add 900 new Safe Haven beds that offer a more flexible, personalized option for New Yorkers experiencing unsheltered homelessness and have proven a highly-effective tool for moving New Yorkers from homelessness into permanent housing. To help break

“Let’s keep this a city for families: for our families who are here and for those who are on the way; for our
the cycle of homelessness and hospitalization, the Adams administration will open an innovative facility specifically to support unsheltered New Yorkers with serious mental illness, offer psychiatric care and substance use treatment, and help secure permanent housing. Finally, Adams on Thursday set a new goal: No child should ever be born into New York City’s shelter system, the mayor declared. To make this goal a reality, the Adams administration will launch a pilot program to connect soon-to-be parents applying for shelter with services that help them find permanent housing and prevent homelessness before their child is born, moving new families into stable homes more quickly and preventing lifelong cycles of poverty and housing instability before they begin, he added.
These new investments — which will take place over several fiscal years — will help New York City tackle street homelessness by supporting New Yorkers living on subways, helping connect individuals with serious mental illness to care, and keeping families out of city shelters.
Additionally, Adams reiterated his calls for Albany to pass the Support -
Adams insisted on Thursday that the city is still formidable.
“In the past year alone, our administration passed historic housing legislation, shattered the record for the most jobs in city history, drove major crimes down, and did so much more to build a family-friendly city. As a result of all these efforts, the state of our city is strong,” he said.
“I always say there are two kinds of Americans: those who live in New York and those who wish they could,” Adams added.
“Where else can you find thousands of parks, hundreds of museums, and food from every culture all just a train ride away? Where else can you catch a parade, watch a baseball game, and ride a free ferry all in the same day?
“Where else can you raise such smart, savvy, global citizens?
“The freedom and opportunity that drew families to this neighborhood and this city have kept New York going strong over the years and still define our city today.”
However, Adams also admitted that the anxiety across Gotham is palpable.
“Extreme costs are forcing too many people, especially workingclass families, to make hard choices:
working families, our immigrant families, our extended families.
“The greatest city in the world must also be the best place to raise a family: The City of New York,” Hizzoner concluded on Thursday.
Several elected officials praised Adams’ 2025 remarks.
“Mayor Adams showed his strength, focus, and resilience in today’s State of the City address,” said Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar (D-Woodhaven). “He highlighted the record achievements of this administration and a bold vision to uplift all New Yorkers. The mayor presented concrete, common sense solutions to the issues facing our city: mental health, public safety, housing, homelessness, healthcare, and education. I have been proud to work with the mayor to make our government more efficient and solution-driven, tackling New Yorkers’ biggest quality of life concerns. As a new session begins in Albany, I look forward to collaborating with the mayor to continue to bring down crime, provide mental health treatment, build affordable housing, drive down the cost of living, address homelessness, and create opportunities for all.”

A Train Shutdown—and Shuttle Buses—are Here
By Michael V. Cusenza
Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Howard Beach) on Tuesday said she has spent months coordinating with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to secure alternative public transit routes as the A train is set to be temporarily shut down beginning Friday, Jan. 17.
For the next 17 weeks, the A train will not run past the Howard Beach Station, impacting Broad Channel and the Rockaway Peninsula. The MTA is conducting major upgrades to help protect the line from future storms and ensure reliable service for over 9,000 daily riders.
According to MTA officials, the Rockaway Line Rehabilitation & Resiliency Project will address the extensive damage to the A line wrought by Superstorm Sandy in 2012. While emergency repairs restored service seven months after the storm, Hammels Wye Viaduct and South Channel Bridge that carry trains across Broad Channel require extensive rehabilitation and repair work to ensure these structures withstand future extreme weather events.
The MTA will be completely reconstructing and rebuilding the Hammels Wye Viaduct, an elevated structure that allows A train service to split between west-bound to Rockaway Park and east-bound to Far Rockaway. The project also will make critical repairs to the South Channel Bridge. Together, Hammels Wye and the South Channel Bridge link the Rockaway Peninsula with the rest of Queens and are part of a $393 million investment to ensure reliable service on the Rockaway Line for the next 50 years.
On Tuesday, Pheffer Amato announced that between Friday night on Jan. 17 and Monday morning on Jan. 20, the following
alternative services are available:
For service to/from affected stations, there will be free transfer/shuttle buses which will run on three routes:
• N onstop between Howard Beach and Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue
• Be tween Howard Beach and Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue, making all stops: Broad Channel, Beach 90 Street, Beach 67 Street, Beach 60 Street, Beach 44 Street, Beach 36 Street, and Beach 25 Street
• Be tween Howard Beach and Rockaway Park-Beach 116 Street, stopping at Broad Channel, Beach 98 Street, and Beach 105 Street
Starting Jan. 20, the following alternatives will be available while the A train is shut down:
Free shuttle bus service along two routes:
• T he Q97 bus which will run between Howard Beach and Far Rockaway
• T he Q109 bus which will run from Howard Beach to Beach 67th Street via Broad Channel and Beach 90th Street
• T ickets from the Far Rockaway LIRR station to Manhattan’s Grand Central/Penn Station or Brooklyn’s Atlantic Terminal will cost $2.75, less than the current subway fare
• T here will be free subway shuttle service across the Rockaway Peninsula in both directions from Beach 116th Street Station to Mott Avenue free of charge during the duration of the construction
“I was not going to allow anyone to be completely cut off and have no access to public transportation. I appreciate that the MTA worked with our community to provide acceptable alternatives, and more options to follow as we go through this process,” said Pheffer Amato.

Man Sentenced to Seven Years in Prison for Trying to Snatch Child in Richmond Hill
By Forum Staff
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz on Tuesday announced that a Fresh Meadows man was sentenced to seven years in prison for the attempted kidnapping of a 5-year-old boy, a stranger whom he grabbed off the sidewalk in Richmond Hill in July 2021.
McGonagle, 27, pleaded guilty to attempted kidnapping in the second degree and endangering the welfare of a child in November 2024. The defendant must register as a sex offender upon his release.
According to the charges, on July 15, 2021, at approximately 8 p.m., video footage showed McGonagle was parked in a red Nissan near the intersection of Hillside Avenue and Bessemer Street. The defendant exited the car and charged toward the location where the 5-year-old victim was walking with his mother and two siblings. The defendant picked up the child and tossed him into the back seat of the car. The victim’s mother followed closely behind them and struggled to pull the young boy back out of the vehicle.
The two adults briefly wrestled over the boy, pulling his small body
back and forth. Eventually, the boy’s mother and siblings prevailed and pulled the child back to safety through the car’s front passenger window. McGonagle sped away. He was arrested the following day at a hospital in Brooklyn.
“The defendant needlessly terrorized this child, his family and, in fact, the entire community with his reckless behavior,” Katz said. “With this sentence, James McGonagle will face justice for his crimes.”

Bravest Making Progress in Battery Fire Battle
By Forum Staff
City Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker recently announced significant progress in the Fire Department’s battle against lithium-ion battery fires. In 2024, the city had six deaths related to lithium-ion batteries, compared to 18 deaths in 2023, a 67-percent decrease.
Since 2021, the FDNY has been sounding the alarm about the threat of lithiumion batteries. In 2023, the city had 18 fatalities due to lithium-ion batteries. Through consistent safety messaging, inspections, community outreach, and a targeted $1 million ad campaign, the number of deaths caused by these devices in 2024 fell to six.
The FDNY Lithium-ion Battery Task Force inspected 585 e-bike shops in 2024, a 25-percent increase from 2023. They issued 426 FDNY Summons, 138 violation orders, 32 criminal summonses, and issued seven vacate orders with the Department of Buildings.
In 2024, 277 fires were started by lithium-ion battery fires, compared to 268 in 2023. 133 of these fires were non-structural, meaning that they occurred outdoors and not in an apartment, business, or home. In 2023, only 90 fires were non-structural. This decrease indicates that the public is hearing the department’s message about storing and charging these devices outside where possible.
Tucker also updated New Yorkers on a busy 2024 for the Big Apple’s Bravest.
In 2024, FDNY Fire and EMS operations responded to a combined 2.3 million emergency calls.
FDNY EMS responded to a new record high number of medical emergencies in 2024 — 1,630,446.
EMS responses fall into one of two broad categories — Segment 1-3 which include life-threatening emergencies such as cardiac arrest, unconscious and choking calls, and Segment 4-8 incidents which are triaged as non-life-threatening incidents. FDNY EMS responded to 627,599 Segment 1-3 calls in 2024.
There were 2,158 serious fires and emergencies in 2024 compared to 2023, when there were 2,227. Serious fires and emergencies escalate to the point of requiring a full one-alarm assignment or higher (i.e., multiple alarm), consisting of a dozen fire units to respond, conduct search and rescue operations, and extinguish the fire or mitigate the emergency.
Overall, fire deaths are down 25 percent in 2024 compared to 2023. In 2023, 104 people died in fires across the five boroughs. There were 78 fire fatalities in 2024.
The leading cause of fire fatalities was electrical fires, including six lithium-ion related deaths.
In addition to their work with the Lithium-Ion Battery Task Force, the Bureau of Fire Prevention completed 194,585 inspections, a 15 percent increase from 2023.
In 2024 BFP issued:
• 45,619 v iolation orders, a 37 percent increase from 2023.
• 60,917 FDNY summonses, a 19 percent increase from 2023.
• 313 cr iminal summonses, a 98 percent increase from 2023.
Tucker also noted that a top priority of the FDNY is educating the public about fire safety and eliminating residential fire deaths. The Fire Safety Education Unit is specially trained to conduct community outreach and to educate the public with critical lifesaving strategies that focus on fire prevention, with a special focus on the city's most vulnerable populations and at-risk communities.
In 2024, FSEU conducted 3,160 presentations and reached an estimated 508,975 New Yorkers. This is a 37 percent increase in total presentations coordinated compared to 2023.
The Mobile CPR Unit trained a total of 104,277 people, an increase of 55 percent from 2023, with 28 percent of trainees being high school students. Early CPR and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator have been shown to dramatically increase the chance of survival in victims who experience sudden cardiac arrest.
The Pharmacist’s Corner
Presented by Frank Pantina, R.Ph
HEALTHY HEARTS
AT YOUR LOCAL PHARMACY
Cardiovascular (CV) disease is a major American health concern. It is responsible for 1 out of every 3 deaths in this country. There are over 2 million strokes and heart attacks reported every year. Hypertension (high blood pressure) and hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) are primary contributing CV health risks. These conditions affect more than 80 million Americans each year. Along with the huge loss of life comes the tremendous financial burden resulting from cardiovascular disease.
Because of the crush imposed by cardiac diseases on the economy, Medicare, Medicaid and private payers, have really applied the push for health-care teams to manage disease collectively and efficiently.
The role of the pharmacist here is very clear: ensuring cardiac patients are compliant with their meds thereby preventing hospital readmissions.
Cardiac medications include many types of drugs including Lipid-Lowering Therapies like statins and cholesterol absorption inhibitors, Blood Pressure Meds like Beta Blockers, Diuretics and ACE inhibitors and Thyroid meds like Levothyroxine. These are just a few of the myriad of meds that a cardiac patient can face.
With new drugs constantly turning up, physicians are realizing the value of pharmacists'' expertise in medications– it is
an essential piece in saving the lives of patients.
At your local pharmacy there exists a real opportunity to learn about your meds. Not only what they do for your conditions, and safeguarding that you always have the ample supply you need, but whether you’re on the right one, at the appropriate dose.
Another component monitored by your pharmacist is the possibility of any potential drug interactions between your particular medications.
The role of the pharmacist as a member of your cardiac health-care team is recognized by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) which both recommend a team-based approach, which includes pharmacists, in the treatment of hypertension.
Community pharmacists are making a huge difference by provide services like blood pressure screenings, as well as offering advice to patients on many lifestyle issues, such as diet and exercise. You can turn to us with any difficulty you’re experiencing, even when trying to stop smoking.
The bottom line is that your pharmacist is in an ideal position to help manage blood pressure and cholesterol medication therapy. Talk to us and take the opportunity to get heart healthy!

In a statement, Mayor Eric Adams praised Hochul’s speech.
“At a moment when our state faces a historic affordability crisis, Governor Hochul understands this bold action would make a meaningful difference for hundreds of thousands of our city’s residents,” he said. “As the legislative session begins, our administration is, once again, looking forward to working with Governor Hochul, Senate Majority Leader AndreaStewart Cousins, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, and all of our partners in Albany to make our city safer, more affordable, and the best place to raise a family.”
Hochul critics essentially reacted by asking the governor, “Show me the money” that will pay for all of this.
“In my experiences working with initiatives proposed by mayors and governors, I’ve always asked how they will pay for such proposals and Governor Hochul’s proposed initiatives in her 2025 State of the State are no exception,” said State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Woodhaven). “While I commend Governor Hochul on making family a priority and focusing on safety, affordability, childcare, preventing food insecurity and increasing access to education, I once again become curious as to how her administration plans to pay for such initiatives.
“As Chair of the Senate Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee, I have several ideas for revenue and possibly how to fund several of Governor Hochul’s proposals.
“I agree with many of her ideas and was even a co-sponsor of the mentioned Climate Superfund Act, however her support of Mayor Adams’ City of Yes and congestion pricing, both of which I don’t support, and her lack of highlighting possible improvements to health care programs concerns me. I look forward to working with Governor Hochul and my colleagues in government to create a more resilient, safer and affordable state as we move forward in the new year.”

Hochul Touts New Policies to Make Transit System Safer
By Michael V. Cusenza
Governor Kathy Hochul on Tuesday announced comprehensive new steps to increase the presence of law enforcement officers, expand public resources and strengthen mental health policies to make a beleaguered city transit system safer.
The new measures include partnering with Big Apple officials to increase NYPD patrols on subway platforms and trains; installing new protective barriers on subway platforms to protect riders; upgrading fare gates and delaying egress on exit gates to help crack down on fare evasion; adding LED lighting throughout stations to increase visibility; and updating and strengthening mental health laws to ensure that New Yorkers with severe mental illness are connected with care instead of being left to languish on subway trains and platforms.
According to Hochul, Approximately 750 NYPD cops will be stationed across the five boroughs with an additional 300 in the train cars themselves. The increase in enforcement will prioritize 30 subways stations and transit hubs that account for 50 percent of crime in the transit system.
Hochul also pledged to work with the City to increase police patrols on every overnight train for the next six months. NYPD officers will work from 9 p.m. to 5
a.m., and there will be a uniformed officer onboard every subway train in service during those hours.
Hochul said her administration will provide the funding to install platform edge barriers at more than 100 additional stations by the end of 2025. The selection of stations for the installation process will prioritize feasibility. Hochul also promised to provide funding to install LED lighting in all subway stations throughout the system which will increase visibility through-
out the stations.
To address fare evasion, Hochul promised to invest in modern fare gates in more than 20 stations across the system in 2025, and an additional 20 stations in 2026. Additionally, exit gates will delay egress at 150 additional stations in an effort to reduce fare evasion. The MTA will prioritize stations with higher ridership traffic, accessibility features and those with high fare evasion. The piloted design used in the roll-out was solicited through the MTA’s “Request
for Information” to qualify the next generation of fare gates across the system.
On Tuesday, Hochul also claimed that her Safe Options Support initiative has successfully transitioned nearly 850 unhoused individuals into permanent housing and continues to make progress. SOS teams deployed across New York State often encounter individuals experiencing unmet medical and psychiatric needs. To address this gap, Hochul said she will add street medicine and street psychiatry providers to SOS teams statewide.
Additionally Hochul said she will work with the City Department of Homeless Services to expand their 24/7 “Welcome Center” model near end-of-line stations and will create spaces within stations that have a large presence of homeless people for our mobile outreach teams to better connect and coordinate services.
For the governor’s critics, the plan provides too little too late.
“Your plan comes after years of knocking our police officers down and uplifting violent criminals,” City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park) addressed Hochul on Twitter. “Who will be protecting our neighborhoods while you put 300 police officers on the trains? Staffing for NYPD has never been lower and the burnout rate is apparent by how many are leaving, thanks to your failed policies.”
Comptroller Rips Mayor’s ‘Ineffective’ Street Homelessness Plan
By Michael V. Cusenza
City Comptroller Brad Lander on Monday released a report that blasted Mayor Eric Adams for ineffectively coordinating a Continuum of Care for people living on the streets and subways with serious mental illness.
“And the results are devastating,” Lander said.
In response to mounting safety concerns, the City and State have launched a slew of initiatives and legislative efforts to confront the issue of street homelessness for people with serious mental illness. But the efforts are piecemeal. People continue to fall through the cracks and there is little public confidence that things will change.
Outreach teams lose track of clients. Hospitals release patients back to the street after a few hours because there aren’t enough inpatient beds to treat them. Judges cannot refer people into programs proven to reduce recidivism and increase adherence to treatment because there are no slots. Jails place just 3 percent of discharged people with serious mental health challenges into supportive housing.
An audit by the comptroller’s office in 2024 of the City’s Intensive Mobile Treatment program for homeless New Yorkers with the most severe histories of mental ill-
ness found that the City inadequately measured whether the program was decreasing incarceration because of a lack of coordination among City agencies, that outcomes and treatment measures were inconsistent, and that placements into stable housing had declined precipitously.
Despite these persistent failures, evidence from other cities – and indeed, even from New York City – argues strongly that
this crisis can be solved with more diligent leadership, Lander wrote.
Data shows that there are approximately 2,000 people with serious mental illness at risk for street homelessness cycling through City streets, subways, jails, and hospitals. At that scale, a better-coordinated system is within the grasp of a city with the resources and capacity of New York. Indeed, the City is already spending billions on outreach,
police overtime, city jails, shelters, and emergency hospitalizations, but City Hall has continuously failed to coordinate these efforts effectively to solve the problem, according to Lander.
The report centers on a “housing first” approach, which evidence shows has had great success in Philadelphia, Houston, Denver, other cities throughout the United States and around the world, and even in New York City. Housing first combines existing housing vouchers and service dollars to get people off the street and directly into stable housing with wraparound services.
Data shows that 70-90 percent of people experiencing street homelessness with serious mental illness will accept permanent housing with a coordinated outreach strategy, and that it will keep them stably housed, off the street, and better connected to the mental health services that will stabilize them.
“The city that never sleeps shouldn't have our most vulnerable New Yorkers sleeping on the streets or subways,” said Lander, a mayoral candidate. “Public safety – whether you ride the subway every day or sleep on the subway to stay out of the cold – matters to us all. In a city with 8 million people and incredible resources, we should not only aspire to, but be able to achieve, a goal of having no one with a mental illness living on the streets.

The increase in police presence will prioritize 30 subways stations and transit hubs that account for 50 percent of crime in the transit system, Gov. Hochul said.

Law Enforcement Officials Shutter Illegal Weed Shop in Forest Hills
By Forum Staff
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Tuesday the closure of an unlicensed cannabis shop that operated at on Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, blocks away from a public park and a junior high school. More than 30 pounds of marijuana, with a street value of approximately $38,200, were confi scated, as well hundreds of packages of cannabis product, following a search of the premises.
According to the investigation, surveillance operations revealed the ongoing illegal sale of cannabis and related products through a roll-down steel gate at The Smoke House, at
103-17 Queens Blvd. in Forest Hills. In addition, at approximately 8 p.m. every night, the store’s gate opened and customers entered to purchase the illicit products that were prominently displayed throughout the interior.
A search of the store was conducted by members of the NYPD, Sheriff ’s Office and DA Katz’s Detective Bureau on Jan. 10 at approximately 8 p.m.
Officers recovered 31.8 pounds of marijuana flower, hundreds of packages containing cannabis gummies, flavored vapes, THC vapes, pre-rolls and edibles, as well as $4,713 in cash and brass knuckles.
Since November 2022, enforcement operations have resulted in the prosecu-
tion of 313 individuals for felony-related charges related to the sale and/or possession of cannabis or controlled substances in Queens.
“Our communities, particularly our children, must remain safe from the dangers posed by unlicensed, unregulated marijuana products in our neighborhoods,” Katz said. “Recently, a shop situated two blocks from Yellowstone Park and
Russell Sage Junior High School became a focal point of community concerns, prompting my office to carry out surveillance and enforcement efforts. These illicit dispensaries not only evade tax obligations but also jeopardize the livelihood of licensed sellers who adhere to safety and compliance standards. My office will continue to ensure public safety and compliance across the borough.”
