James Oddo, a former Staten Island borough president, has been picked by Mayor Eric Adams to lead the NYC Department of Buildings. The appointment comes one week after a fatal parking garage collapse in lower Manhattan.
In the press release announcing Oddo's announcement, the mayor’s office said that Oddo’s work as the new commissioner will consist of “protecting construction workers and at-risk buildings.” He will also help by “driving the city’s economic recovery, and implementing New York City’s nation-leading sustainability laws, including Local Law 97.”
In addition to serving as Staten Island borough president, Oddo – a Republican – previously served as a member of the New York City Council and as chief of staff to Meera Joshi, the deputy mayor of operations, “Jimmy Oddo brings the highest level of passion, empathy and smarts to public service, and the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Operations has been the grateful beneficiary of the ’Oddo Effect,’” Joshi said on Thursday.
