Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani today released the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Mayor's Management Report (MMR), evaluating City agency performance from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The report, the first released under Mayor Mamdani, shows measurable progress in lowering costs for New Yorkers, expanding opportunity for young people, improving public safety and delivering public excellence and better services for all New Yorkers.
"This administration came into office with a promise to make New York City more affordable, make our streets and communities safer and make government work for working people. This year's Mayor's Management Report shows what happen when City Hall puts those priorities into action. We are making housing affordable, connecting more young people with jobs, putting more money back into the pockets of working families, filling more potholes and delivering the essential services New Yorkers deserve. There is no room for complacency. We are building faith in government and lowering costs one day at a time. Every number in this report represents a New Yorker we have a responsibility to serve. Our job is to serve them better and better every day," said Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
"Behind every number in the Mayor's Management Report are dedicated public servants working every day to deliver essential services for New Yorkers - and to capture that work in a clear picture of how government is performing," said Annie Levers, Director of the Mayor's Office of Operations. "For nearly five decades, the MMR has been a cornerstone of transparent and accountable government, helping New Yorkers understand what their government is delivering and how well it is delivering it. We are proud to produce this report, but more importantly, to put it to work to improve services, deliver better results and make government work better for New Yorkers."
