New York City Mayor

The mayor of New York City, officially Mayor of the City of New York, is the head of our executive branch: the “president” of the City, if you will. This office administers all city services, public property, law enforcement, fire protection, and most public agencies – all the things that your tax dollars pay for.

Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch arrive at the 42nd Street–Times Square subway station on Friday, ahead of the heated news conference marking the one-year anniversary of the PATH outreach program.
