NY Gov Hochul considering removal of Mayor Adams

I just saw the AP reporting on this story (link below). At this point, Adams is Trump's vassal zombie, since the DOJ can reinstate the felony charges against him if he doesn't do what Dump wants him to.

My question is, what is the procedure for removing a duly elected mayor? What mechanisms does the governor have for doing that? Does it require a supermajority vote of city officials or the state legislature like impeaching a president?
