Mamdani Faces Criticism Over City Hall AC Settings Amid Heat Wave

“Maybe the mayor shouldn’t tell New Yorkers to sacrifice their comfort if he isn’t willing to do the same,” City Council Minority Leader David Carr, R-Staten Island, told the newspaper.

The report said the CityStore inside the Manhattan Municipal Building measured 64 degrees, while temperatures in the Governor’s Room near the mayor’s office also dropped to around 74 degrees

The New York Post also reported that while many offices were heavily air-conditioned, security personnel and police officers working in hallways and building lobbies remained in temperatures exceeding 80 degrees.

Not every city office was reportedly cooler than the mayor’s recommended setting.
