Disability Service Facilitators (DSF)
Who We Are
Disability Service Facilitators, or "DSFs", are agency representatives who are committed to making our agencies more inclusive. We are liaisons to New Yorkers with disabilities, connecting them to City government and services.
What We Do
As DSFs, we coordinate our agencies' efforts to comply with and carry out our agencies' responsibilities under the ADA and other federal, state, and local laws and regulations concerning access to agency programs and services by persons with disabilities.
Under Local Law 27 of 2016, each City agency must appoint a DSF.

Lori Barrett-Peterson,
Disability Services Facilitator
Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME)
Who I Am
I am the Chief Operating Officer for the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME). I have been serving as MOME’s Disability Services Facilitator since 2019.
What I Do
MOME’s mission is to support and strengthen New York City’s creative economy and make it accessible to all. MOME’s main activities are the operation of the City’s official TV and radio network, issuing permits to film TV shows and movies on City streets, granting press cards to journalists, and managing industry and workforce development projects.
As the Chief Operating Officer, I oversee MOME’s financial, legal, and human resources teams.
As the Disability Services Facilitator, I work with MOME’s staff to make sure that people with disabilities can access our programs and services and to try to increase accessibility within the media and entertainment industries. Many of my colleagues have excellent ideas about how we can remove obstacles to accessibility. Together, we try to do a little bit more each year.
Fun Fact
MOME’s offices are in the Tower of 1 Centre Street (a/k/a the Muni Building). The City of New York’s first radio broadcast was on July 8, 1924 from the Tower of 1 Centre Street. Our original radio station’s lobby featured a large Works Progress Administration mural of musical instruments, including harps, violins, strings, and musical notes. Even though the lobby is gone, the wonderful WPA mural is still at 1 Centre Street on the 25th Floor (North)—a secret treasure! If anyone wants to come visit it, I’ll show it to you (and I can audio describe it, if you are blind or low-vision).
