| FY23 | 62% | 72% |
| FY24 | 59% | 72% |

68% in FY25 — missed the City's own target for this indicator (4% below the 72% target), and it has trended in the wrong direction over the past 3 years of reported data.
Why this is tracked
DCAS was formed in 1996 when Mayor Giuliani merged the Department of General Services and the Department of Personnel, and one of the resulting agency's core jobs is managing the roughly 55 public buildings the City owns, along with acquiring, selling, and leasing City property more broadly. This is unglamorous but foundational work: every other city service, from courts to clinics to agency offices, depends on having functional, well-maintained physical space, and DCAS is the entity that acquires, maintains, and disposes of that space on behalf of the rest of government.

Definition: The average cleanliness and condition rating of DCAS-managed office buildings. The ratings are derived from items on a survey of tenants in DCAS-managed buildings and does not include court space. The survey is closely related to the checklist used by the New York State Office of Court Administration. Most items are rated on a three-point scale—Adequate (highest), Marginal, and Inadequate (lowest)—with overall performance calculated as a percentage.
