The mayor was set to approve the measure Monday, but after hearing from critics, he decided to take an extra day to weigh whether it's strong legally.

"I will say that while I am inclined to sign the bill I will by tomorrow double check and make sure that number one the bill was drafted legally and or it looks like it will stand a challenge and I can promise that I will at city expense make sure that the standards in this bill as passed by the City Council are followed," Bloomberg said.

The shows, which are set for the band shell at Asser Levy Park starting Thursday, now remain in limbo.

This follows a lawsuit from two nearby synagogues, citing a city code that bans sound permits from being issued within 500 feet of places of worship.

Since then, the City Council approved a pilot program that allows the concert series to go forward.

The legislation calls for using decibels, and not just distance, in determining whether to grant sound permits.

Residents say they are worried about the noise.

"It's a nice unique park and it's a nice quiet area, so I wish people can have a rest here. And if they want to go for the concert there are many other places actually that you know, specialize on the concerts," said one neighborhood resident.

"I'm on the fence with that because it's nice. It's entertainment for people. But at the same time it draws a lot of crowds. There's no parking for like people in the neighborhood," said another.

If the mayor does sign the bill on Tuesday, Brooklyn-native Neil Sedaka will be clear to play the first show.
