The Board is headed by an Executive Board, which consists of a Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, and Sergeant at Arms.

It works with various governmental and non-governmental agencies such as 311, the Department of Buildings, Department of Sanitation, Department of Environmental Protection...ConEd, the Metropolitan Transit Authority, the New York Public Library...and civic associations to coordinate and improve the delivery of municipal services.
