New York City has enacted a series of new protections for workers who deliver restaurant orders for third-party food delivery apps.

Effective April 22, delivery workers will receive pay on a weekly basis, can choose how far they’ll travel and what routes they’ll take, receive more information about deliveries before accepting them, and be provided with a free insulated delivery bag.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) Commissioner Vilda Vera Mayuga announced the new laws, the latest milestone in a legislative effort to improve labor conditions for delivery workers.

“As a blue-collar mayor, I am committed to ensuring every worker in this city has fair, equitable, and safe working conditions,” said Adams in a statement. “Delivery workers brave difficult conditions year-round, often for meager pay, simply to do their jobs. These hard-won protections are critically important to advancing worker justice and giving the more than 65,000 delivery workers across this city the dignity they deserve.”

Many food delivery workers — also known in some neighborhoods as “deliveristas” — lost their jobs when restaurants that employed them were forced to shutter at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

To continue earning pay, they turned to app-based delivery services such as GrubHub, UberEats, Seamless, and DoorDash. The city estimates that there are currently more than 65,000 app-based food delivery workers in the five boroughs.

Harlem Bespoke: The SRO townhouse at 314 West 138th Street sold for $1.595 million in August 2017 and is now back on the market for $2.38 million $1.98 million.  This posting is pretty much the same as the last one since we had expected to see this property restored to a more simple layout but things still look like they have not changed too much especially for the higher 2019 price point.  It is still unclear if there has been any renovations over the years and if the current units are occupied.   With that said, this block by St. Nicholas Park is one of the more architecturally intact ones in Central Harlem and has quite a bit of charm.  More details can be found on Streeteasy: LINK
