The mayor 's office administers all city services, public property, police and fire protection, most public agencies, and enforces all city, state and federal laws within New York City. The budget, overseen by New York City Mayor 's Office of Management and Budget, is the largest municipal budget in the United States at $82 billion a year. The city employs 325,000 people, spends about $21 billion to educate more than 1.1 million students ( the largest public school system in the United States ) and levies $27 billion in taxes. It receives $14 billion from the state and federal governments. The mayor 's office is located in New York City Hall ; it has jurisdiction over all five boroughs of New York City : Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island and Queens. The mayor appoints a large number of officials, including commissioners who head city departments, and his deputy mayors. The mayor 's regulations are compiled in title 43 of the New York City Rules. According to current law, the mayor is limited to two consecutive four - year terms in office but may run again after a four year break. It was changed from two to three terms on October 23, 2008, when the New York City Council voted 29 -- 22 in favor of passing the term limit extension into law. However, in 2010, a referendum reverting the limit back to two terms passed overwhelmingly. The current mayor is Democrat Bill de Blasio, who was elected on November 5, 2013 and reelected to a second term on November 7, 2017.

For 156 years, the mayor was appointed and had limited power. Between 1783 and 1821 the mayor was appointed by the Council of Appointments in which the state 's governor had the loudest voice. In 1821 the Common Council, which included elected members, gained the authority to choose the mayor. An amendment to the New York State Constitution in 1834 provided for the direct popular election of the mayor. Cornelius W. Lawrence, a Democrat, was elected that year. Gracie Mansion has been the official residence of the mayor since Fiorello La Guardia 's administration in 1942. Its main floor is open to the public and serves as a small museum. The mayor is entitled to a salary of $ 258,750 a year. Michael Bloomberg, mayor of the city from 2002 to 2013 and one of the richest people in the world, declined the salary and instead was paid $1 yearly. In 2000 direct control of the city 's public school system was transferred to the mayor 's office. In 2003 the reorganization established the New York City Department of Education. Tammany Hall Main article : Tammany Hall `` New York 's new solar system '' : Tammany Hall revolves around Boss Croker in this 1899 cartoon in Puck. Tammany Hall, which evolved from an organization of craftsmen into a Democratic political machine, gained control of Democratic Party nominations in the state and city in 1861. It played a major role in New York City politics into the 1960s and was a dominant player from the mayoral victory of Fernando Wood in 1854 through the era of Robert Wagner ( 1954 -- 1965 ). Deputy mayors The Mayor of New York City may appoint several deputy mayors to help oversee major offices within the executive branch of the city government. The powers and duties, and even the number of deputy mayors, are not defined by the City Charter. The post was created by Fiorello La Guardia ( who appointed Grover Whalen as deputy mayor ) to handle ceremonial events that the mayor was too busy to attend. Since then, deputy mayors have been appointed with their areas of responsibility defined by the appointing mayor. There are currently five deputy mayors, all of whom report directly to the mayor. Deputy mayors do not have any right to succeed to the mayoralty in the case of vacancy or incapacity of the mayor. ( The order of succession is the Public Advocate of the City of New York, then the Comptroller of the City of New York. ) The current deputy mayors are : First deputy mayor : Dean Fuleihan Advises the mayor on citywide administrative, operational and policy matters. Deputy mayor for housing and economic development : Alicia Glen Oversees and coordinates the operations of the Economic Development Corporation, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Buildings, the Department of City Planning, Department of Housing Preservation and Development, New York City Housing Development Corporation and related agencies. Deputy mayor for health and human services : Herminia Palacio Oversees and coordinates the operations of the Human Resources Administration, Department of Homeless Services, the Administration for Children 's Services, New York City Health and Hospitals, and related agencies. Deputy mayor for operations : Laura Anglin Deputy mayor for strategic initiatives : J.

Spin City, a 1990s TV sitcom, starred Michael J. Fox as a deputy mayor of New York under Barry Bostwick 's fictional Mayor Randall Winston. Several mayors have appeared in television and movies, as well as on Broadway, most notably in The Will Rogers Follies. In the 1980s and ' 90s, Mayors Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani appeared on Saturday Night Live on several occasions, sometimes mocking themselves in sketches. Giuliani and Bloomberg have both appeared, as themselves in their mayoral capacities, on episodes of Law & Order. Giuliani also appeared as himself in an episode of Seinfeld, titled `` The Non-Fat Yogurt ''. Giuliani has made cameos in films such as The Out - of - Towners and Anger Management. Bloomberg has appeared on 30 Rock, Gossip Girl, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Horace and Pete. In `` Recycled Koopa '', an episode of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, King Koopa is dumping his garbage into New York, causing New Yorkers including the mayor to transform into mindless `` Koopa Zombies ''. Although the episode aired during the term of David Dinkins, the mayor in the episode does not seem based on him.
