City Council members clashed with the Mamdani administration over the limited scope of information released on mental health emergencies on Wednesday — with lawmakers demanding more transparent reporting from City Hall. Councilwoman Lynn Schulman (D-Queens) proposed legislation mandating Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration publish detailed quarterly data on every 911 call flagged as a mental health emergency rather than the top line report that is published annually. The legislation aims to better understand the revolving door that has city dwellers cycling between hospitals, shelters, streets and jail — without receiving proper treatment.
