Mayor Eric Adams is expanding his multi-agency safety initiative to Central Park in a push to address quality-of-life concerns in the city’s most iconic green space.

The run-down Port Authority Bus Terminal will be turned into a “world class” travel hub under a $10 billion renovation project that launched Thursday.

The Rent Guidelines Board on Tuesday scaled back its planned hikes on nearly 1 million rent-stabilized units — in a rare reversal that landlords said will leave New York City’s aging buildings in disrepair. The board’s re-vote shaved down the proposed range of increases for two-year leases to 3.75% to 7.75%, down from the minimum of 4.75% that it passed last month. Rent increases for one-year leases will stay the same at a range of 1.75% to 4.75%.
