New York City Council · Jun 5, 2026 · starts 3:30:21 · 1 min 16 sec

Restler asks if Martin has met with the OCS deputy mayor. Martin confirms his deputy mayors have met and he corresponds with Commissioner Delaney-Breamsfield. Restler emphasizes the need for coordination between agencies and OCS.

Lincoln Restler

Last up, you just spoke to the coordination with the Office of Community Safety.

Lincoln Restler

Have you met with the deputy mayor?

Dr. Alistair Martin

I've met with my counterpart, with the commissioner, yeah.

Lincoln Restler

The commissioner, the deputy mayor, you mean?

Dr. Alistair Martin

There's a deputy mayor, and then there's a newly appointed commissioner, Aisha Delaney-Bramsfield.

Lincoln Restler

Oh, okay, great.

Dr. Alistair Martin

Our deputy mayors have met, so at a level higher than mine, my deputy mayor has met with that deputy mayor, but I correspond with the commissioner.

Lincoln Restler

I think just after the public safety hearing at the beginning of the week, we wanted to make sure that somebody's talking to the Office of Community Safety.

Lincoln Restler

So thank you.

Tiffany L. Cabán

Thank you.

Tiffany L. Cabán

I just want to kind of reiterate, Councilmember Ressler's concerns again, as somebody who actively worked navigating the space between like confidentiality, HIPAA and all those things, I think there is information that could be shared about progress

Tiffany L. Cabán

that doesn't violate HIPAA that would be helpful to our offices.

Tiffany L. Cabán

I also, Councilmember Ressler, I wanted to give you a quick opportunity.

Tiffany L. Cabán

If you had any other questions on supportive housing vacancies, you can ask them, because I was going to ask them anyway, if you want to take a second to do that.

Tiffany L. Cabán

Yeah.

Tiffany L. Cabán

I guess we'll go over to Councilmember Aldeball then.
