Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday fiercely denied the existence of an internal City Hall list aimed at fast-tracking fire system approvals for major developers that is reportedly being eyed by the FBI in its probe of his 2021 campaign.
The so-called “Deputy Mayor of Operations (DMO) List” was first created by former Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2021 and continued under Adams’ administration when he took office in 2022, according to published reports. The list was used to help major developers cut to the front of the line in getting needed approvals for construction projects from the FDNY.
