The Manhattan district attorney’s office yesterday sought the dismissal of 316 convictions tied to a group of New York Police Department officers, sergeants and detectives who have been convicted of crimes related to their work (New York Times) … At the Queens Public Library at Hunters Point, a staircase that runs from the lobby to the second floor is the only way to access three areas that have built-in desks with charging stations. A ramp that leads to the rooftop terrace, which has sweeping views of Manhattan, has a slope that is unlawful, the city argues. Bathrooms throughout the building do not have enough space for wheelchairs (New York Times) … The majority of roughly 700 newly arrived migrants in New York struggle to meet basic needs, get lawyers, take English classes and travel around the city, according to a new survey (Gothamist) … After years of political pressure, insulin prices are finally starting to drop, and some New Yorkers are paying less at pharmacies as a result (Gothamist)
