• Second two-alarm fire in one day strikes Park Hill apartment building in Staten Island; 1 injured (silive.com) — Back-to-back two-alarm fires tore through a Park Hill apartment building in Clifton on Tuesday, forcing hundreds of Staten Island residents out and sending one person to Staten Island University Hospital with minor injuries. Firefighters battled separate blazes hours apart in the same Bowen Street building, while longtime tenants blamed years of unresolved maintenance problems and safety violations for worsening the damage and their fears.
   

• New York Democrats push last-minute redistricting proposal (blackchronicle.com) — State lawmakers are weighing a redistricting ballot proposal that could let Albany Democrats redraw New York’s congressional lines mid-decade, including targeting Nicole Malliotakis’ Staten Island-based seat.
