NYC has among the lowest suicide rates in the country because suicide with a (legal) gun is the most reliable method and legal guns are hard to come by around here.
Just because you can recall a number of recent suicides doesn't mean they're particularly common. It's like this sub keeps forgetting that NYC's population is almost 9 million and that "per capita" is a thing.

I’m with you feels like this is happening way too often these days and more so than in the past.

That may be true but from the statistics I’ve seen, suicide has been up since the beginning of Covid

How often has this happened in the last year?

I think we’ve had 3’ish each month? This one is like the 5th since sept 1, I believe.
Specifically jumpers. It could also be that they were never reported as much, they used to only publicize them if they injured or hurt someone else on their way down.
