Bill and I are excited that you are here and hope you enjoy our exciting new exhibit, She Persists: A Century of Women Artists in New York. These 60 works of art tell a powerful story about the persistence of women. From the very beginning of the de Blasio administration, we have made it our mission to honor that persistence by taking significant actions to create a stronger foundation for gender equity in our city. More parents than ever before can stay home and care for a sick child — without losing the day’s pay or being fired. More women can take time to recover from childbirth and bond with their baby. Employers can no longer use past salary history as justification for unfair pay in the present.

  • Small Business First Report
    Small Business First Better Government. Stronger Businesses. 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 Small businesses strengthen New York City’s economy, anchor communities, create jobs, and add to the vibrancy of the City’s neighborhoods. Of the more than 200,000 businesses located in New York City, 98 percent are small (fewer than 100 employees) and 89 percent are very small (fewer than 20 employees). These small businesses employ more than half of New York City’s private sector workforce, and often provide a first chance for economic self-determination and a path to the middle class for their owners. Every day, however, small businesses face a variety of challenges, including multiple levels of government regulation. Steps have been taken over the years to improve New York City’s regulatory environment, but the complexity and number of requirements weigh heavily on small businesses that often have fewer resources to navigate government. In July 2014, Mayor de Blasio launched Small Business First, an inter-agency initiative led by the Mayor’s Office of Operations and the Department of Small Business Services to make government more effective and efficient in helping businesses start, operate, and expand. The result is 30 recommendations to greatly improve the City’s regulatory environment for small businesses and save business owners time, money, and hassle, as well as increase satisfaction with City services. To build the recommendations included in Small Business First, the City worked closely with small business owners, advocates, neighborhood and community leaders, and elected officials, to solicit ideas about how best to help small businesses. More than 600 unique comments and ideas were received detailing the specific needs of small businesses across the five boroughs.

  • Mayor De Blasio Appears on Inside City Hall
    THE CITY OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE MAYOR NEW YORK, NY 10007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 12, 2020, 7:10 PM CONTACT: [email protected], (212) 788-2958 TRANSCRIPT: MAYOR DE BLASIO APPEARS ON INSIDE CITY HALL Errol Louis: Welcome back to Inside City Hall. We just learned a short time ago that Joyce Dinkins, the former First Lady of New York City, has died. The Harlem native broke barriers as the first Black first lady of our city during David Dinkins’ time in office. She was actively involved in improving literacy skills of city students. Mayor de Blasio, who got his start in politics under then Mayor Dinkins joins me now with reaction to that and more from the Blue Room inside City Hall. Good evening, Mr. Mayor, very sad to hear about Joyce Dinkins. Mayor Bill de Blasio: Yeah, Errol. This is very sad. Chirlane and I heard a few hours ago and, you know, we have the honor of serving under David and Joyce Dinkins, and such a strong and good woman, so dignified in everything she did. You know that she played a huge role in Mayor Dinkins’ – his whole path, his whole path to the mayoralty and in the work he did as mayor, she was in so many ways, you know, one of the great strong forces of the administration. And not because she was out front and, you know, someone who played a particularly public role, but we all could see, you know, she was a lot of what held things together.

  • CATALYZING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE on PRIVATE PROPERTY: Recommendations for a Green, Equitable, and Sustainable New York City
    CATALYZING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY: Recommendations for a Green, Equitable, and Sustainable New York City Center for Sustainable Business AUGUST 2017 | Alisa Valderrama, NRDC | John Lochner, NRDC | Marianna Koval, NYU Stern CSB August 7, 2017 Vincent Sapienza, Acting Commissioner New York City Department of Environmental Protection 59-17 Junction Blvd. Flushing, New York 11373 Dear Acting Commissioner Sapienza: We are pleased to provide the attached report, “Catalyzing Green Infrastructure on Private Property: Recommendations for a Green, Equitable, and Sustainable New York City,” developed by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the New York University Stern School of Business’ Center for Sustainable Business (NYU Stern CSB). The undersigned organizations, comprising community-based organizations, environmental advocates, and community development corporations, join NRDC and NYU Stern CSB in urging you to carefully consider these recommendations. We believe that green infrastructure, including green roofs, rain gardens, rainwater harvesting, trees, infiltration planters, and porous paving, can not only manage stormwater runoff from the City’s vast impermeable surfaces and reduce combined sewer overflows, but also transform New York City. Green infrastructure can benefit community livability by improving water quality, improving air quality, reducing the urban heat island effect, reducing energy use, and creating green jobs. It can also be an essential tool for achieving OneNYC’s goals of a stronger, sustainable, resilient, and equitable city. As you know, the City of New York has recognized green infrastructure’s value and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has committed to spend at least $1.5 billion on green infrastructure, in combination with necessary “gray” infrastructure investments, to reduce combined sewer overflows and improve water quality through 2030.

Pierre, Ph.D. Norma Ponce Dan Steinberg Marlon WiIIie Cover Design: Toby Allan LETTER FROM THE MAYOR My Fellow New Yorkers: For nearly 40 years, the Mayor’s Management Report (MMR) has given the people of this city a window into how their government is working for them. The MMR embodies our commitment to transparency and accountability and it is one of the ways we use data to improve City services for all New Yorkers. The 2016 report marks my Administration’s second full year of providing this important information. The MMR highlights the full range of what we do: from everyday services to emergency operations; from small-scale initiatives to larger endeavors. Some of these services have an immediate and tangible effect, while others will have a significant effect over time. I’ve often talked about the inequities in our society as a Tale of Two Cities. With the MMR, you will get a detailed look at how City government is tackling these inequalities and creating a New York that is inclusive and fairer for all.
