One of the key responsibilities of the Borough President is participation in ULULRP by weighing in with formal opinions – sounding the alarm on bad policy or improper decisions, identifying improvements, or formally approving when a proposal’s merits are overwhelming. Find and read Borough President Hoylman-Sigal’s ULURP Recommendations today.

We analyzed 28 months of 311 complaints to find out where the problem is at its worst, why it keeps getting worse, and what the city can actually do about it.

Manhattan is at an inflection point: skyrocketing rents, small businesses shuttering, immigrants afraid to pick their kids up from schools, artists being priced out of the borough. Sticking with the status quo won’t help our neighbors, which is why BP Hoylman-Sigal’s office is helping to connect immigrants with vital resources, build and protect affordable housing, support small businesses, and expand access to arts and culture by injecting tens of millions of public and private dollars into local creative projects.

Watch the BP’s full 2026 inauguration speech to hear how our office is working with Manhattanites to build a more vibrant, just, and affordable borough.
