DoorDash will pay at least $131.5 million after the city found it underpaid or paid late more than 260,000 delivery workers, the largest labor enforcement action in city history.
The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection found DoorDash skipped some payments, sent others days or weeks late, and left some on-call time out of its minimum-pay math [78]. Workers do not have to file claims; the city already identified them from company records [78]. DoorDash says more than $83 million of the deal comes from a dispute over how on-call time is counted, which it calls "fair, practical, and legal," but it will use the city's method going forward [78]. It must also send the city pay data every month for three years [88].
“Simply put, we screwed up”
“I've never heard someone describe a $131.5 million settlement in that kind of language”
“I filed my complaint with DCWP because I knew we had to speak up”
GothamistOn Nov. 1 the Marathon drops two Bronx turns and stops looping around the Western Beef block across from the Patterson Houses, its first route change since 2011.
Runners still cross the Willis Avenue Bridge and turn onto East 135th and Alexander Avenue, but now they stay on Alexander past 138th, go left on East 141st, left on Third Avenue, then right on East 138th straight over the Madison Avenue Bridge [125]. The old loop around the supermarket and a 24-hour laundromat on East 140th cut residents off from both for much of race day [150]. New York Road Runners gave the city two options, and the city and NYPD approved this one [113].
“I had some sensitivities to that because those sections of the Bronx are food deserts”
“The TCS New York City Marathon wouldn’t be what it is without the support of the communities the course runs through”

6sqftThe Council called a hearing on City Hall's Signal chat with 200-plus influencers, and the administration sent two commissioners who could not say how many influencers it works with, while the mayor said their testimony would be sufficient.
The chat, "NYC Creators Announcements," sends talking points and clips to more than 200 creators, and disappearing messages had been switched on [2]. New media director Emilia Rowland was invited and the administration declined to send her [2]. Under a May 2025 records policy, instant messages are "transitory by default," and the employee decides whether one is substantive enough to preserve [2]. Frank Morano put on the record a January memo from Chief Counsel Ramzi Kassem telling staff not to use Signal for work [16].
“We’re having a hearing about this very topic, and two agency heads were sent here who don’t have the answer to that question”
"It’s really up to the user" (Shawn(ta) Smith-Cruz, records commissioner) [2]
“Our administration took corrective action to ensure that we’re in accordance with the city’s record-keeping laws”

Walking into Tony DiNapoli's before a Broadway show, Michelle DeLucia spotted something sparkling on the floor: a loose diamond engraved with a gemological certification number. She and her wife Jennifer are now trying to return it to whoever dropped it, the second time the couple has done this in Times Square, after once returning a lost passport to a visitor from New Zealand. "I don't know this person's story. It could be so sentimental to them," Michelle said [145].
