The New York City Council is the city’s legislative body, separate from the Mayor’s administration but an equal partner in how the City is run.
The Council introduces and votes on legislation, negotiates the City’s budget with the Mayor, monitors City agencies, and reviews land use.
CB6 is represented by Council Member Shahana Hanif (District 39) and Council Member Alexa Avilés (District 38). The Council can override a mayoral veto with a two thirds vote.
