Cybersecdn- As 2024 begins, New York residents can expect several significant legal changes. Among these, the most noteworthy are the increase in the minimum wage and enhanced security measures in NYCHA buildings.
Effective New Year’s Day, the minimum wage in New York City, Westchester, and Long Island has been raised to $16 per hour, while the rest of the state will see an increase to $15 per hour. This wage boost is a significant step towards addressing economic challenges and improving living standards for many workers.
In addition to wage changes, a new law on NYCHA buildings has been introduced to ensure resident safety and well-being. This law mandates NYCHA to inform tenants within 24 hours about the safety of their drinking and cooking water. Furthermore, the installation of keyless security devices in building common areas is now prohibited without written consent from the building’s occupants and relevant parties.
