Dozens of lawmakers, residents and community groups are taking the Big Apple to court over its controversial “City of Yes” housing plan — seeking to unravel Mayor Eric Adams’ cornerstone initiative to overhaul decades-old regulations. The 60-page lawsuit, filed late Tuesday in Staten Island Supreme Court, argues that the Adams administration and the City Council rushed through the massive slate of sweeping changes to the city’s zoning laws, setting aside environmental concerns. “[I]n casting aside critical areas of environmental concern in their rush to complete the most comprehensive and radical transformation of New York City Zoning in over sixty years,” the suit says.
