Since taking office nearly a year ago, Mayor Eric Adams has been beating the drum on making it easier to build more desperately needed apartments across the five boroughs as a way to alleviate the city’s mounting housing crisis.

To that end, the mayor on Thursday announced perhaps his biggest action to take on the issue yet in a live streamed City Hall address where he rolled out “Get Stuff Built,” a package of 111 reforms aimed at making it easier to construct housing in the five boroughs by cutting down on regulations, updating old rules and reducing the price tag for developers.
