"For too long, New Yorkers haven't been able to access this view," Mamdani said. "It's been closed off to the very people that should be seeing it."
The mayor tied the announcement to a celebration of Dinkins, New York City's first Black mayor, on the second day of Black History Month.
The $6 million renovation is to "repaint the cupola, repair the rotunda, add glass barriers and restore this one of a kind civic space to a landmark befitting Mayor Dinkins," Mamdani said.
A statement from the mayor's office cast the move as part of the "Mamdani administration's efforts to ensure New Yorkers across the five boroughs are able to access and enjoy the city's public realm."
"We're going to make an iconic building a must-see bucket item for all New Yorkers," said Yume Kitasei, the newly-appointed commissioner of DCAS, which manages the building.
