Why Do NYC Buildings Have Wooden Water Towers on the Roof?

New York City buildings have wooden water towers on their roofs because the city’s street-level water pressure is not always strong enough to reach the upper floors. In a traditional system, a pump lifts water to a tank above the apartments. When someone turns on a faucet or takes a shower, gravity sends that stored water back down through the building’s pipes. The rooftop tank is there to provide a dependable source of water and pressure, not to decorate the skyline.

Bayonne Moves to Phase Out Short-Term Rentals as Noise Complaints Pile Up

Bayonne officials say the city will stop approving new short-term rental applications and will not renew existing ones once their current terms run out, effectively winding down a registration program that has drawn complaints from residents in quiet residential pockets of the city. The decision comes after months of pushback over noise, parking and safety concerns tied to rentals operating in neighborhoods never built for revolving-door guests.

Scoop: Mamdani's bid for 2028 kingmaker

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani can't be president, so he's trying to be the next best thing: a progressive kingmaker for 2028. Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for the White House, four people familiar with the talks told Axios. He's arguing that progressives can't afford to squander their midterm momentum. Why it matters: Behind closed doors, Mamdani has made a striking admission that helps explain why he's so eager to huddle with allies about 2028: He's uncertain whether New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, his close political partner, will launch a White House run, the sources said. If Ocasio-Cortez stays out of the 2028 race, it would upend the Democratic primary — and potentially leave the party's insurgent left without a candidate. Zoom in: Mamdani — who's ineligible to be president because he was born in Uganda — wants to coordinate with progressive leaders partly to prepare to unite against any leading centrist presidential contender they aren't happy with, according to one of the sources who has spoken with the mayor. Mamdani "wants the progressive ecosystem to mobilize quickly, strategically and efficiently if a

On the ICE shooting in Marble Hill

“Did you hear about the ICE shooting?” I asked my friend. “Which one?” they replied. On Oct. 8, Oscar Belgal was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent while in his car with a five-year-old, assumed to be his son, in Marble Hill. According to police, an agent fired multiple rounds into the car, striking him in the neck. The child was not physically injured. The Department of Homeland Security claims the altercation escalated when Belgal refused to leave his vehicle and struck two cars, prompting agents to fire. The armed agents approached in construction worker vests and masks, unlike recognizable law enforcement. Belgal’s lawyers have challenged the lawfulness of his arrest. With this article, I don’t intend to examine Belgal’s innocence, but rather the circumstances of his arrest and the violence he was subjected to.
