In one of his first acts as mayor, Zohran Mamdani is revoking all executive orders issued by his predecessor Eric Adams in the time since Adams’ indictment on federal bribery and campaign finance charges on Sept. 26, 2024.
The case against Adams was dropped by President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice.
Mamdani issued other executive orders on Thursday. One establishes an organizational structure for his deputy mayors; another aims to “revitalize” the Office to Protect Tenants; and two establish housing task forces.
He discussed the orders in a Brooklyn building owned by a real estate company that’s currently in bankruptcy and responsible for thousands of housing violations and complaints, according to Mamdani’s administration.
