The first African-American to hold this post was told that his political career "was dead" after the murder of Yankel Rosenbaum. A man in this office accused power providers of "gross negligence" in the leadup to a catastrophic 1977 blackout. A holder of this office clamped down on "squeegee men" with the aid of Bill Bratton. Another holder of this office said that his state's capital lacked "a good Chinese restaurant" while running for governor against (*) Mario Cuomo. Former holders of this office include David Dinkins and Ed Koch. One of its recent holders was derided by Joe Biden for running for President on the sentence structure, "a verb, a noun, and 9/11." For 10 points, name this position previously held by Rudy Giuliani and now by Bill de Blasio.
