The city’s top attorney Sylvia Hinds-Radix officially stepped down from her post on Friday after serving two and a half years in Mayor Eric Adams’ administration, City Hall confirmed.
Hinds-Radix’s resignation as the city’s corporation counsel, who has led the city’s Law Department since early 2022, comes a little over a month after several news outlets reported that Adams was looking to replace her with controversial lawyer Randy Mastro — as a growing number of legal troubles weigh down his mayoralty.
