Levine on enforcement results: $5M from delivery apps, $1.5M from Dunkin'

For example, we secured $5 million from three delivery apps for violations of the minimum pay rate, and more than half a million dollars for freelancers ripped off by the production company Splashlight.

In March, we announced a $1.5 million settlement with Dunkin'and Taco Bell franchisees for violations of the Fair Workweek law, securing economic justice and fairness for more than 760 workers.

We took legal action against predatory businesses like Extraspace, Radiant Solar, and Instant Recovery Corporation, seeking over tens of millions of dollars in penalties for deceptive and illegal schemes to raise costs for New Yorkers.

We also went after May.

major employment agencies, including CMP, Golden Rose, and Eleni's, and won almost $1 million in restitution for individuals who faced exploitation and a violation of their rights by these businesses.

In April, we announced a settlement of more than $875,000 with Hungry Panda for violating New York City's fee cap law

and charging small immigrant-owned restaurants thousands of dollars in illegal junk fees, the first action our agency has ever brought under this authority.

And most recently, the mayor announced her action against Honda of the Bronx, a used car dealer engaging in widespread deceptive practices.

All of this work is a clear reminder that under this administration, there is zero tolerance for companies that violate the law, and that we will fight to bring justice to the New Yorkers that faced abuses.

The numbers speak for themselves.

Within the mayor's first 100 days, we had already secured nearly $10 million for New Yorkers, and that number is only growing as we continue delivering real economic justice to consumers, workers, and small businesses across our city.

This is just the beginning of a transformative era, and we look forward to continuing our relentless fight to bring accountability, affordability, and economic justice to the people of New York.
