Because the kids are tripping in holes dug by dogs, here are your early links: Andrew Cuomo complaining about Zohran Mamdani's apartment, Smith-9th Street station getting elevators, war on golf carts and more.

Good Monday morning in New York City, where offices are beefing up their security.
Here's what else is happening:
- Mayor Adams' reelection campaign opened a new office last week in a Brooklyn storefront that technically shouldn't be occupied because it has a vacate order stemming from a wall collapse two years ago.
- Andrew Cuomo tweeted last Friday that "a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter" because Zohran Mamdani, who makes six figures as a state assemblymember, is "occupying her rent-controlled apartment." (Mamdani does not live in a rent-controlled apartment, he lives in a rent-stabilized apartment that he said he intends to leave.)
- People are allegedly letting their dogs poop and dig holes at a Bushwick baseball field with a no-dogs policy, and the Little Leaguers aren't happy about it.
- The Smith-9th Street subway stop in Gowanus — the tallest station in the city — is getting elevators.
- Life was good for the alleged Food52 corporate credit card scammer.
- Yankees old-timer Mariano Rivera tore his Achilles in the Old-Timers' Day exhibition game.
- On the streets of suburbia, a war is brewing between SUV drivers and golf cart drivers.
- And finally, whatever you drive, don't leave snacks in there:
