Commissioner, @helloDCWP. Tweets are my own. Retweets, follows, & likes ≠ endorsements.

In DC, being “tough on crime” too often ignores corporate lawbreaking. Not in New York City.

[Samuel Levine @saalevine]

Car rental companies operating in NYC need to follow NYC law. Most are not, and we are taking action to change that.

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

NEW: We cracked down on car rentals across NYC. Nearly all the businesses we inspected failed to disclose required pricing information.

Consumers deserve transparency and have a right to see pricing information BEFORE submitting payment.

Our team is meeting small business owners where they’re at: their storefronts!

DCWP’s Business Education Days help remind businesses of their rights and responsibilities in NYC.

Thank you @galeabrewer for joining Commissioner Levine on these violation-free visits.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Wage theft is theft. Tenant harassment is illegal. Those who defraud vulnerable New Yorkers will be held accountable.

We are working with @ManhattanDA Bragg to share real-time information and crack down on crimes that target workers and consumers.

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

We're partnering up with @ManhattanDA to crack down on unlawful wage theft, tenant harassment, and fraud targeting immigrants.

NYC Delivery Workers: You have a right to use the bathroom when picking up orders!

We partnered with @workersjusticep to distribute NEW bathroom access cards. You can print yours at https://t.co/W9bj1fnEZ7 or drop into the Deliverista Hub at 249 Broadway.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

New Yorkers sweat the small stuff, so why shouldn't their city government? 

From potholes to permits to parents needing a night off, there is no problem too big — and no task too small — for us to tackle.

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

If we are serious about fixing a rigged economy, we have to go after the structures that keep it rigged.

It’s time to pass the Delivery Protection Act.

Thanks to the outstanding work of DCWP staff and the New Yorkers who came forward to report being cheated, we have secured $1 million for Extra Space customers. Apply for your refund!

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

Did you rent an Extra Space Storage unit in New York City between March 24, 2023, and June 16, 2026?

You may be eligible for restitution!

We’ve secured funds for consumers who experienced property damage, rent hikes, and more. File your claim at https://t.co/XAppOPtb79

Subcontracting delivery might be a boon for corporate profits, but it’s been a disaster for workers, street safety, and responsible businesses. It’s time to pass the Delivery Worker Protection Act.

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

It’s time to pass the Delivery Worker Protection Act and keep last-mile delivery drivers safe!

DCWP is proud to stand with the workers who not only keep our city running, but are leading the fight for economic justice.

✊🔥People over packages! We have the momentum to pass the Delivery Protection Act in New York City!

We joined @teamsterssob and hundreds of @teamsters to rally for a bill that will end Amazon’s subcontracting system so we can hold the company accountable and keep workers safe!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.

Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change.

I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

[Samuel Levine @saalevine]

Are workers getting the time off they’re entitled to? Enforcers and employers can use our new tool to ensure that laws on the books live up to their promise.

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

NEW: A DCWP and @Kennedy_School study found that 50% of U.S. employees with access to paid sick leave, known as Protected Time Off in New York City, use  leave at least one day a year.

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

☀️ The Commissioner’s wing is looking bright!

💙 We are grateful to our Executive Team for always keeping the trains moving at DCWP, empowering our entire agency to serve New Yorkers at the highest level.

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

DCWP’s Business Education Days are in full swing!

Our team is out in the city, informing small business owners of their rights and responsibilities in NYC.

Thank you @SunnysideShines and @CMJustinSanchez for joining Commissioner Levine in conducting these violation-free visits.

[Ahmed Tigani @AhmedTigani54]

As public servants across the country answer the call to serve, I'm grateful for the Mayor's unwavering commitment to recognizing the people who make government work every day. By taking the time to honor them, he reminds us that public service is one of our highest callings.

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

New York City proudly fights to ensure delivery workers are paid what they deserve! 

Delivery apps tried to take away workers’ tips. DCWP fought back and put $104 million back in their pockets.

[Samuel Levine @saalevine]

To the New Yorkers who had the courage to speak out: thank you. @helloDCWP will be relentless in protecting working people and holding predatory businesses accountable.

The Mamdani Administration is suing two dental offices for pressuring patients into needless procedures and signing them up for high-cost loans without their knowledge.

Exploiting people in pain isn’t just shameful—it will get you sued.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%. 

In January, we made these corporations change their apps — and in the past six months, we've put $104 million back in delivery workers' pockets. 

This is only the beginning.
