Our Town, The West Side Spirit, Our Town Downtown and The Chelsea News join forces with 32BJ SEIU to host the Building Service Worker Awards annually.

The ceremony honors those working to keep New York City’s homes and workplaces running: from doormen and security guards, to office cleaners and window washers.

The event was held virtually in 2021; you can watch highlights from the ceremony here.

In 2022, sixteen honorees were celebrated in person alongside friends, family, employers, sponsors, and local elected officials. Upon receiving their awards, honorees took a moment to tell guests what they’re most thankful for. Click here to watch.
