The New York City Council has 51 members, each elected from a single district. Districts don't match neighborhood names and they don't match borough boundaries cleanly — so figuring out who your council member actually is takes a minute. This directory lays out every district and, where we've published it, a full page on the member, committee assignments, and office location.
Quick mechanics: council members serve four-year terms (the whole body was last elected in November 2025), district lines are redrawn once a decade by the NYC Districting Commission after the Census, and the Council's real levers are the budget, land use, and oversight. For the full picture of where the Council sits in the city's power map, including how the Speaker runs the body and what "member deference" means in a rezoning fight, read How NYC City Government Works and the ULURP guide.
Two districts have full published pages so far (District 1 in Lower Manhattan and District 33 covering Williamsburg and Greenpoint); the rest are being verified and brought online in batches. Every published page is checked against council.nyc.gov before it goes live and carries a visible last-verified date.
