   The riots did bring about some positive changes. The city's elite were forced to acknowledge the plight of the poor and initiate social reforms. New tenement laws were enacted in 1867 to address overcrowding and improve living conditions, marking the beginning of housing reform efforts.

   Committees were formed to investigate the causes of the riots, and charities gained prominence as the wealthy and elite became more involved in philanthropy.
