Any mayor of NYC will be pro-Wall Street, for obvious reasons. Bernie Sanders would be singing Wall Street's praises if he were mayor.
Again, Wall Street is NYC's bedrock economy. It has nothing to do with politics; it's the lifeblood of the economy. It would be like a Detroit mayor fighting against the auto industry, a Silicon Valley mayor demonizing tech, or an LA mayor telling Hollywood to get lost.
