«I, Francisco Felix, am or expect to be hired by the above agency or department on the day of the appointment and in the position indicated above. I hereby confirm that I live at the above address, which is located in New York City. The appointment of executives at the highest level has taken some time, but this is not uncommon. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio appointed commissioners until April, when he took office in 2014 — though he was criticized at the time. While many of the new mayor`s appointments were greeted with jubilation, there were also real hiccups. Adams apparently had to cut a security job for his brother Bernard Adams. Former council member Fernando Cabrera appears to have been removed from the management review of the Mayor`s Mental Health Office after being publicly rejected for his anti-gay positions (although he was always given an advisory role to the Office of Religious Communities and Community Partnerships). And while Carlo Scissura was to lead the city`s economic development arm, he too was removed from consideration after reporting on his unregistered lobbying for city projects.

The immediate residency requirement provides that a city employee «be informed of the allegation that his or her residence is outside the city and have the opportunity to challenge it» (New York City Administrative Code § 12-120). In determining whether this procedure satisfies the conditions for regular application, we necessarily take into account the fact that Felix was asked to provide various documents, such as tax documents, a driver`s license and a voter card, in order to establish his residence in New York.
