According to city budget documents, officials are eyeing a laundry list of new fees, fines, and enforcement crackdowns to help plug fiscal gaps.
These include dramatically increasing ambulance transportation costs, charging New Yorkers for EMS responses even if they refuse hospital transport, issuing more bus lane tickets, ramping up enforcement against the trade waste industry and wholesale markets, raising tree replacement fees, and aggressively auditing property owners tied to the popular STAR tax relief program.
Another expected fallout from Mamdani's budget plan includes slashing Department of Veterans' Services events and cutting sanitation programs.
