Sheena Wright, a longtime ally of Mayor Eric Adams, has resigned from her post as first deputy mayormelbet, making her the seventh senior official to leave the administration during a time of crisis in New York City government.

Ms. Wright has been replaced by Maria Torres-Springer, who was deputy mayor for housing, economic development and work force. The leadership change, which Mr. Adams announced on Tuesday during his weekly news conference at City Hall, is effective immediately, even though the timing of Ms. Wright’s exit was not made clear.

News of Ms. Wright’s departure came as Mr. Adams’s former chief liaison to Muslim New Yorkers, Mohamed Bahi, was arrested and charged with federal witness tampering and destruction of evidence, in connection with the investigation that led to the mayor’s indictment last month.

Ms. Wright’s exit also follows the resignation announcements of her husband, David C. Banks, the schools chancellor, and her brother-in-law, Philip B. Banks III, the deputy mayor for public safety.

On Sept. 4, federal investigators seized the phones of both men, Ms. Wright, and several other senior administration officials. With Ms. Wright’s resignation, all of those people have since stepped down or announced plans to.

The departures seem to reflect the administrative housecleaning that Gov. Kathy Hochul — as well as some of Mr. Adams’s own advisers — has sought as four federal investigations have enveloped City Hall and cast doubt on Mr. Adams’s viability as mayor.

Four federal corruption inquiries have reached into the world of Mayor Eric Adams of New York. Here is a closer look at the charges against Mr. Adams and how people with ties to him are related to the inquiries.
