The city recorded 16 outdoor deaths linked to hypothermia and overdoses during an 11-day stretch below freezing, with over 930 shelter placements made, officials said.

- According to Mamdani, the city has made more than 930 placements into shelters or safe havens, and 18 New Yorkers were involuntarily transported after being determined a danger to themselves or others during this potentially record-breaking cold stretch.
