If anyone would like to discuss updating this page, please contact me. This page could give the history and purpose of the NYC Charter.

Hi @Ryozzo, I would be up to help. I’m a newbie editor but love NYC and would be happy to consult some history books from the NYPL. SharkJumperNYC (talk) 23:00, 30 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

1989

[edit]

The article only glancingly mentions the huge overhaul of the Charter in 1989 following the SCOTUS decision declaring the Board of Estimate unconstitutional. But arguably this is the most consequential change of all. It fundamentally reshaped the powers of the office of the Mayor as well as those of the City Council. Literally, Mayors since 1990 have more direct control and more levers than those who preceded them. Giuliani, Bloomberg, and DeBlasio, notably, have been able to push through changes that Mayors from the 1970s or 80s could never have done without much broader alliances.
