"I am proud to be the chair of the Consumer and Worker Protection Committee in the Council, so I am looking forward to improving consumer and workers' rights across the city. We've already taken meaningful steps in conjunction with DCWP to eliminate junk fees at hotels and improve resources to help New Yorkers save money during tax season."
"What we do impacts whether we have an affordable New York. Our office impacts daily life by helping build affordable housing, passing local laws that are responsive to the needs of our constituents, working with city agencies, helping secure funding for local community organizations, negotiating the city budget and working every day to address the needs of our constituents."
"Our constituent services team takes on thousands of cases across the district over the phone and by walk-in. We help constituents to address housing issues, infrastructure issues around the neighborhood and work with city agencies to assist with inquiries related to public safety, transportation and social services."
Harvey Epstein, NYC Council Member for Manhattan's Second District, chairs the Consumer and Worker Protection Committee with goals to expand consumer and worker rights citywide. His office has eliminated junk hotel fees and improved tax season resources.

Housing affordability remains the district's top priority, with costs driving displacement concerns.
