Bill de Blasio worked just seven hours at City Hall in May

Mayor Bill de Blasio spent a mere seven hours - less than one full workday - at City Hall during the month he launched his bid for the White House, records reviewed by The Post show.

The 11 appointments amounted to a meager one-fifth of the 50 meetings, calls and other events at City Hall on de Blasio's calendar for May 2018.

Another former de Blasio insider called the mayor's job performance "Real bad.".

De Blasio and first lady Chirlane McCray kicked off his presidential campaign with a May 16 appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America" that drew raucous protests from groups as diverse as the Police Benevolent Association and Black Lives Matter.

This year's schedule shows 66 calls or meetings while de Blasio was "En route" - meaning that he was being driven around New York City or on the campaign trail.

De Blasio spokeswoman Freddi Goldstein downplayed the importance of his whereabouts, saying, "Whether at City Hall, Gracie Mansion or on the road, the mayor consistently delivers for 8.6 million New Yorkers."

A city resident apparently disagreed: A "Wanted poster" appeared in Midtown last month.
