I don’t know why this was named after one of the City’s worst mayors, but this building hasn’t changed in over 100 years (see the photo of a hand mirror below of the building on the far left). Whenever I went to it for city-agency meetings, it was always steaming inside, elevators were slow, and it’s just a horror to be in. The only saving grace is the views outside its windows of the Brooklyn Bridge and its proximity to subways. Other than that, all I can say is “ugh!” Maybe that’s the irony in naming it after worst-mayor-ever (S)Dinkins...🤣
Great place you can get married here. You can pay all types of fines here. This building is great. Enjoy
Historically the building itself holds the strong arm of the law and justice. The area around including tree filled sitting parks and a stroll across The Brooklyn Bridge makes for a wonderful afternoon or late night walk with the stars.
Fantastic architecture and great view of the city when you at the top of the cupola! I dont know about much that goes on inside the building other than its a government offices, but the security and red tape that goes on when you need to see anyone or do anything is painfully slow.

1 Centre Street is the filming location for at least two scenes from two movies: “The Professional” (South entrance is where corrupt DEA agent Stansfield goes through to reach his office, though the revolving door may have only been used for the film) and “John Wick” (the large arch is in the background across the street from The Red Circle). Largest government building I have ever seen, even though I have not had the pleasure of seeing it in person.
I wondered what the David N Dinkins Building was used for, as at street level, you are greeted by Roman columns, which suggest the buildings importance. I thought I would research the building when I got home.The building is 580 feet tall with 40 stories. It was built in the Ancient Roman and Beaux-Arts style and was the first building in New York City to incorporate a subway station below its base; Chambers Street Station. The building also influenced other buildings, such as the Helmsley Building in Midtown Manhatten. The David N Dinkins Municipal Building has around one million square feet of interior space.There are a number of New York City public offices located in the building. These include:New York City Office of Payroll.New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.New York City Comptroller.New York City Public Advocate.Manhatten Borough President.New York Public Service Commission.New York City Department of Finance.New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services.The Office of the City Clerk which was responsible weddings. The City Clerks Office relocated to nearby 141 Worth Street in 2009.
Great architectural design the city government building is used in lots of TV shows and movies. Restroom can be used by the public after going through security.
The view from the roof is beautiful. There is a dedicated elevator to the roof. Thank you Open House New York for this amazing experience.
Yea,you alright.New York, its city of peoples power and creative
The building where Gary Oldman’s character Stansfield worked in Luc Besson’s “Leon” or “The Profesional”. Inside at entrance 1 Centre Street South actually you can see the Gun Detector Checkpoint where Natalie Portman as Matilda tries to get Stansfield.
This building looks phenomenal from the outside, however, inside it looks very out of date. But the services provided here are great for the city.
Thanks for everything you help me in my stay in New York!
The best skyline view from Hamilton park, weehawken, NJ

It is a magnificent city hall. In Japan, there is a debate about rebuilding, but since the United States has a strong desire for old things, it will cherish such things. Its already a valuable building, but another 100 years? Do you have it? Over time, cultural value will increase.
Beautiful building
Impressive building! Also great to see from the Brooklyn Bridge!
Location The devils advocate
I like this building, as I understand below this building is where the first underground train station was built, under a building
Stalins skyscrapers in Moscow were built following the example of this building.
I dont know which one is NY City Hall, but this one seems to stand out
Its the most impressive building in Manhattan.
I wanted you as president in Brazil!

2017-09-12Impressive and distinct high rise municipal building displaying a variety of architectural influences and influencing a number of beloved buildings elsewhere in the United States. This striking building is near City Hall Park and the Brooklyn Bridge and is well worth seeing up close.

2018-03-30What an architecturally interesting building! I love the view of it from Brooklyn and as you are crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. The building was designed by the historic McKim, Mead, and White firm in 1914 and was the first to incorporate a subway station inside. The architecture is very unique and has been described as Roman Imperial, French Renaissance, and Italian Renaissance. It served as the inspiration for the Wrigley Building in Chicago. It’s currently home to over 2000 employees.
