New York, NY, September 18, 2026 —
New York City’s performance across various services presents a mixed landscape, according to the first Mayor’s Management Report released by the administration of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The report covers the fiscal year 2025-2026, a period that notably includes the final six months under former Mayor Eric Adams.
The comprehensive document details the city’s operations, revealing advancements in some sectors while underscoring ongoing difficulties in others. Among the areas showing improvement are pothole repairs and the restitution of wages for city workers.
However, the report also flags significant challenges impacting residents and city operations. Response times for the Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services (FDNY/EMS) have increased. Additionally, the condition of city playgrounds is reported as deteriorating, and persistent issues continue to affect the city’s correctional facilities, particularly Rikers Island.
The Mayor’s Management Report serves as an annual review of the city’s operational efficiency and service delivery. The findings for fiscal year 2025-2026 offer an overview of how city agencies performed during a transitional period, encompassing the end of one mayoral term and the beginning of another.
Specific data points regarding the extent of progress in pothole repairs and worker restitution, as well as the precise nature and scope of the challenges at Rikers Island and the decline in playground conditions, are detailed within the full report. The increase in FDNY/EMS response times indicates a potential strain on emergency services.
This report is the first from Mayor Mamdani’s office, providing a baseline for his administration’s performance metrics moving forward. The findings will be crucial for understanding the state of city services and for informing future policy and resource allocation decisions.
