What does the public advocate do?

Local perspective:

The city’s Public Advocate is a member of the New York City Council who does not vote, instead, they introduce and co-sponsor legislation, oversee city agencies, and investigate complaints from citizens about city services.

The Public Advocate also serves as the city’s official watchdog, responsible for holding agencies accountable and ensuring residents’ concerns are heard.
