Nutley Residents Grill Officials Over Possible 65-Megawatt Data Center at ON3

A sign advertising 65 megawatts of power and zoning approval at Nutley's former Hoffman LaRoche campus has set off a wave of resident questions about noise, water use and electric bills, spilling into the township's Nov. 5 Board of Commissioners meeting — the first held in the newly renovated commissioners chambers. Residents pressed officials on whether a data center is actually coming to the 11-acre ON3 redevelopment site at 275 Kingsland Street, and what protections would exist if one is built.

Rent Control Ballot Initiatives Won Almost Everywhere (opinion)

Across the country, voters approved ballot initiatives that cap rents and impose new restrictions on landlords' ability to rent to whom they please. The most eye-catching of these was a successful initiative in Elizabeth, New Jersey, where 68 percent of voters revived a cap on annual rent increases of $20 per month that the city council had axed back in 2023.

Dem councilwoman rips Mamdani’s affordable-housing fast-track plan: ‘He doesn’t know anything’

Dem City Councilwoman Gale Brewer blasted Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday for not knowing “anything’’ about housing, as she and other pols weighed his nominees for the powerful local Planning Commission. “This is a fine mayor, but he doesn’t know anything about housing or development. He knows other things,” the Upper West Side rep said at the council session where Hizzoner’s five picks were pressed on whether they’d stand up to his affordable-housing policies. The city Planning Commission will get final say over affordable-housing rezonings in the 12 neighborhoods built with the least amount of it, after a November 2025 ballot measure stripped the City Council of its voting power in the approval process starting Jan. 1. City Councilwoman Gale Brewer speaks at a news conference in Central Park on Oct. 26, 2026. Robert Miller for NY Post Veterans Day ceremony at Ground Zero celebrates ‘American resolve’: ‘People are stronger’ The city’s typical seven-month rezoning review process for affordable-housing projects in the 12 neighborhoods also will be shortened to a 90 days as part of the new laws. Brewer, whose district is among the 12 targeted neighborhoods, has raged against both changes. “I’ve done about over 200 [proposed-rezoning reviews], and

A tornado warning has been issued for Queens as NYC braces for hail and heavy rain this weekend

For New Yorkers with access to a nearby window, this weekend’s weather forecast probably won’t come as much of a surprise. Well, maybe it will — particularly if you aren’t used to seeing phrases like tornado warning and quarter-sized hail pop up in your local weather updates. The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning for Queens County until 2 p.m. Thursday, November 12, as a powerful storm system moves through the Tri-State area. A tornado watch is also in effect for parts of New Jersey until 7 p.m. , while a Special Marine Warning covers New York Harbor and coastal waters stretching from Sandy Hook, New Jersey, to Fire Island Inlet, Long Island, until 1:45 p.m. And that’s not all the weather has in store. Forecasters are tracking heavy rainfall, potentially severe thunderstorms, gusty winds and localized flooding throughout the afternoon and evening. Some areas could see more than two inches of rain, particularly where heavier downpours repeatedly move over the same communities. Thursday’s relatively mild temperatures are also about to make a dramatic exit. Behind the storm system, much colder air will sweep into the region, bringing Friday temperatures down into the 40s, with gusty winds making

Boom of tiny NYC apartment buildings due to developers gaming tax-relief program

If the city has such a desperate housing shortage, why do so many new apartment buildings around town seem tiny? The magic number for residential developers in the Big Apple is 99 — the maximum number of units they can build to keep construction and labor costs low and to maximize future profits under a city-state tax-relief program. The Real Estate Board of New York found that new or planned apartment projects in the five boroughs with under 100 units surged to 172 from July 2024 to September 2026, as tallied by the city’s Housing Preservation and Development agency and the Department of Buildings. In comparison, a mere 13 such small-scale projects were recorded from 2008 to 2023. The 23-story Eastline at 1655 First Avenue, which will have 99 units. Google Maps Since 2024, Brooklyn and Queens had 65 and 58 new projects, respectively, with fewer than 100 units, while Manhattan had 17, according to REBNY. Manhattan leasing remains red hot in October A mere 99 units in some buildings is minuscule in light of the city’s need for 700,000 new homes in the next decade. But the reason they’re so popular with builders is simple, say REBNY vice president

HelloFresh warehouse workers in Newark filed lawsuit alleging discrimination, harassment, forced labor

HelloFresh warehouse workers in Newark filed a class-action lawsuit alleging discrimination, harassment, and forced labor. The lawsuit claims HelloFresh managers and supervisors threatening violence, using racial slurs, denying bathroom access, and threatening to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement against Latine and immigrant workers. According to the lawsuit, HelloFresh laid off about 400 temporary employees on short notice just one day before the state’s Temporary Workers’ Bill of Rights was set to go into effect, which guarantees temporary workers stronger labor protections. Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory, punitive, and statutory damages, severance pay, legal fee reimbursement, and pre- and post-judgement interest.
