Mayor Eric Adams has tapped former Staten Island borough president Jimmy Oddo to lead the city’s Department of Buildings. 

Oddo, a Republican, has been serving as chief of staff to the city’s deputy mayor for operations, Meera Joshi, helping supervise the city’s physical infrastructure and public space, the mayor said in a news release.

Adams on Thursday also appointed Molly Wasow Park commissioner of the city’s Department of Social Services.

Park has been overseeing both the Human Resources Administration and the Department of Homeless Services as acting DSS commissioner since March, the release said.

Her appointment is effective Thursday; Oddo will step into his new role on May 8, spokespeople for Adams said.

“Our administration has always been laser-focused on finding the right people for the right jobs at the right time, and Jimmy Oddo and Molly Wasow Park are exactly those people,” Adams said in a statement. “Commissioner Oddo is an expert at building and running high-functioning teams, and he will bring the leadership the Department of Buildings needs to oversee our city’s buildings and protect New Yorkers who work in construction and walk on our streets.”

“Commissioner Park has a proven track record of helping connect thousands of New Yorkers experiencing homelessness on our subways to shelter and making it easier for people to access critical services, and I am confident she has the experience, vision, and compassion to continue leading this agency and make life better for those in need,” he added.

Kazimir Vilenchik has been serving as acting commissioner of the DOB since November, when the department’s former commissioner, Eric Ulrich, resigned from the role amid reports that his phone had been seized as part of an illegal gambling probe.

Ulrich has not yet been charged with any crime to date.

Vilenchik will step back into his previous role as the DOB’s first deputy commissioner, Adams said.
