New York City's 42nd City Council district is one of 51 districts in the New York City Council. It has been represented by Democrat Chris Banks since 2024, succeeding Charles Barron who lost in the Democratic Primary.
District 42 is based in the easternmost neighborhoods of Brooklyn, covering most of East New York (including its New Lots, Spring Creek, and Starrett City subsections) and part of East Flatbush.[3] Shirley Chisholm State Park is also located within the district, as are many of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge's western islands.
The district overlaps with Brooklyn Community Boards 5, 16, 17, and 18, and with New York's 8th and 9th congressional districts. It also overlaps with the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st districts of the New York State Senate, and with the 54th, 55th, 58th, and 60th districts of the New York State Assembly.[4]
