Nearly one year into Mayor Adams’ term, NYC is struggling with double-digit vacancy rates in “mission critical” areas, ranging from the creation of housing and revenue collection to administering programs for low-income children according to a new report.
But Lander’s report zeroes in on 35 mayoral agencies that provide social safety net services, enforce administrative rules such as building codes and maintain the city’s technological infrastructure. As of October, the city had a citywide vacancy rate of just under 8%, nearly quadruple that of pre-pandemic levels, the report said.,” Lander told Gothamist.
He added, “We will continue to monitor vacancies and take a smart, fiscally-disciplined approach to ensuring that city agencies are well-staffed so we can deliver quality services to New Yorkers and continue to ‘get stuff done.’” “I just think he needs to focus on his office delivering services,” the mayor said, adding that the city’s fiscal situation meant he needed to find efficiencies within government.
