Who Is Really Paid Behind the Prime?
When the City hires a prime contractor, the money does not stop there — it flows down to the subcontractors who actually do the work. Most of that chain is invisible. New York’s Local Law 44 forces one window open: for every City-financed affordable-housing project, the development team must be disclosed — the borrower, the general contractor (the prime), and every subcontractor under them. This maps those chains: which primes route work to the most subs, and which subs surface behind the most different primes — the firms quietly present on team after team, no matter whose name is on the contract.
Primes routing the widest sub networks
General contractors ranked by how many distinct subcontractors they pull onto their teams across City-financed projects. A wide network is normal for a big builder — the question is whether the same subs keep reappearing.
Subs that surface behind the most different primes
Subcontractors ranked by the number of distinct prime contractors they appear under. A firm present on many teams — no matter whose name is on the City contract — is the firm “really paid behind the prime.” The question each time: who is this, and why are they on so many different teams?
The heaviest single chains
Specific prime→sub pairs that recur on the most projects together — a standing relationship between one prime and one sub.
