New York City's mayor after de Blasio (5)

I believe the answer is:

adams

(Other definitions for adams that I've seen before include "Sort of apple" , "Gaolers" , "Father and son were American presidents" , "Of untidy appearance" , "Richard --, Watership Down author" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
