Bernard Adams, Mayor Eric Adams' younger brother, is stepping down from his role in the administration as City Hall security adviser a little over a year after signing on for a $1 a year salary.
The adviser position and symbolic salary were decided on after the mayor initially tried to appoint his brother to be the NYPD deputy commissioner for governmental affairs, which came with a salary of $210,000 a year.
"When it comes to protecting my life, there was no one I trusted more than my baby brother," Mayor Adams said in a statement. "All New Yorkers should thank Bernie for his service to the city, but personally I not only thank him for joining our team, but being one of my strongest rocks after mom died."
"Love you, Bernie, and remember, mom adored me," the mayor added.
Bernard Adams, a former NYPD sergeant, advised the mayor on mayoral security and community engagement.
"You see the city at its best, you see the city at its worst," the younger Adams said in an interview with PIX 11 that aired on Friday.
"Definitely bittersweet because I love him," he added. "But I'll still call big bro when I need to talk to him."
