New York City is suspending eviction enforcement for two days as the city prepares for an intense heat wave.
A memo from the city’s Department of Investigation instructs all city marshals to suspend scheduled evictions Wednesday and Thursday in anticipation of risks to public health and safety posed by extreme heat.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the heat index could reach up to 105 degrees and urged residents to spend time indoors and in air-conditioned spaces whenever possible.
