(NEW YORK CITY) – New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr. and Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) Commissioner Samuel A.A. Levine have announced a new partnership to combat wage theft, tenant harassment and fraud. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), DCWP and the Manhattan D.A.’s Office will coordinate more closely on investigations and enforcement, including by sharing information, data and investigative strategies. The goal is to work more efficiently in cracking down on unlawful practices and holding accountable those who harm Workers in The Big Apple. Mayor Mamdani said: “If someone steals your wages, harasses you out of your home or scams you because of your Immigration status, that’s a crime - and we’re going after it like one. (The) DCWP and the Manhattan D.A.’s Office are now sharing files, sharing leads and moving together. New Yorkers who do the right thing and go to work every day deserve a City that has their back.”
