The state ethics watchdog agency received a complaint urging a probe into how Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani obtained his $2,300 rent-stabilized apartment and whether the Queens assemblyman complied with gift rules for elected officials.

Mayoral candidate Andrew M. Cuomo is criticizing front-runner Zohran Mamdani for living in a one-bedroom rent-stabilized apartment for $2,300 a month, calling on him "to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family.

The shift comes days after Trump suggested he might deploy the National Guard to address crime in cities such as New York. In response, Mamdani kicked off a five-borough “Against Trump” tour, vowing to make his prospective administration “Donald Trump’s worst nightmare” through policies aimed at uplifting working-class New Yorkers.

Protesters in Staten Island have slammed Democrat New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani's visit to Staten Island sees him participate in his third anti-Trump event of the week at a local Mediterranean restaurant.
