Besides State Sen. Jessica Ramos, who else would be a good candidate to replace Mayor Adams?
Compared to the problems that Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao and San Francisco Mayor London Breed are dealing with, this is insane! Fire Departments in general are supposed to be apolitical and have less controversy than police departments (so far as I've understood).

From top to bottom the civil service and elected officials in NYC are incompetent and/or corrupt and (despite the massive budget that NYC has - understaffed) It's hardly a surprise that they are bribing the fire department. The building department is a mad house and severely understaffed for what they need to do - yet the city's budget has increased tremendously over the past 10 years.
I live in Berkeley, CA and when it comes to the fire department and firefighters, I find it interesting as someone seeing this from the lens of living in a college town that NYC has this much corruption. Fire fighters work around the clock in this city to take care of fires in the city and other crisis problems.
Of course, I’ve only visited NYC a few days and have never lived there.
Don't get me wrong, firefighters in NYC work like crazy too. It doesn't mean some of them, particularly upper echelons, aren't corrupt. NYC is messed up.

Brad Lander, the Comptroller of New York City, is running for Mayor and is a great candidate.
