NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) \u2014 Evictions are paused across New York City on Monday as temperatures soar over 90 degrees.<\/p>\n
Because of these extreme weather conditions, city marshals will not carry out any evictions<\/a> scheduled for Monday, the Department of Investigations announced.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory<\/a> through 7 p.m. for much of the tri-state area as temperatures will feel like the upper-90s. The NWS is also warning of severe thunderstorms Monday afternoon and evening. The conditions will increase New Yorkers\u2019 risk of heat-related illness.<\/p>\n Evictions are commonly paused city-wide to \u201cprotect public health, safety, and general welfare.\u201d The city has called eviction moratoria before during the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent Knicks parade and another dangerously hot day in July.<\/a><\/p>\n Emily Rahhal is a digital reporter who has covered New York City since 2023 after reporting in Los Angeles for years.
