First Deputy Mayor of New York City Sheena Wright officially resigned Tuesday — the latest high-profile departure in an administration that’s been rattled by a sweeping federal corruption case.News of Wright’s imminent resignation broke last Friday, with one source saying “she’s leaving because she’s being shown the door.” She will be replaced by Maria Torres-Spring, the city’s deputy mayor for housing.Wright joins a growing list of recent resignations in the Adams administration — including her new husband, outgoing Schools Chancellor David Banks, who is expected to step down in a matter of weeks, and his brother and close Adams pal, Phil Banks, who resigned as deputy mayor on Sunday.Adams was charged in a historic indictment accusing him of bribery and corruption.Cell phones belonging to Wright and the Banks brothers — Phil, David and a third brother Terence — were seized as part of the federal probe.Sources said Gov.Kathy Hochul has been working behind the scenes to fill the vacant top City Hall posts — but won’t go as far as pushing out Adams before the Nov.
