8 months ago @samanthaellimax & I started reading 700+ lawsuits alleging sexual assault by NYC jail staff. One name kept appearing: CO Champagne. But it wasn’t in city records. Our investigation into ‘Champagne’ & what his accusers say officials allowed: tinyurl.com/2cjys2p4

Just over a year after @georgejoseph94 & I published the 1st story in a series on how predatory investors target heirs of property in gentrifying NYC neighborhoods, the state made changes to the law to better protect those homeowners. It's now in effect! thecity.nyc/2024/07/23/hei…


Bringing a little joy to the @WNYC airwaves today: scenes from a @NYHomeless summer camp for kids. "Camp made me feel centered and like, joyful," one camper said. "I'm a goofy girl, everybody likes me. And I'm a Taurus," another said. gothamist.com/news/this-summ… @NYHomeless

Homeless New Yorkers are spending fewer days in city-run shelters on average than in the last decade @karen_yi reports. What’s behind the shorter stays? Migrants. gothamist.com/news/average-s…
