OCFS today released the following statement:

“Following the death of Zymere Perkins in September, Governor Cuomo directed OCFS to investigate ACS' compliance with regulations and policies in the case. On December 1, those findings were presented to ACS and mandated that ACS appoint an independent monitor approved by OCFS.  Today, the Mayor accepted that condition in responding to our findings.”

The findings of the OCFS investigation can be found here:
