The long-running saga of the many homes of New York City Mayor Eric Adams continues. The latest: Documents reveal that Adams still owns half of a Brooklyn apartment, which he claimed during his campaign for mayor he had gotten rid of years ago.

According to financial disclosure forms filed with the Conflicts of Interest Board, Adams owns 50 percent of a one-bedroom co-op on Prospect Place in Brooklyn, with his share worth $250,000 to $500,000. That contradicts statements from his campaign, which said he had given his shares to the former girlfriend he bought the place with back in 2007.

Repeated discrepancies have arisen on his tax forms and financial disclosure documents, including a failure to report rental income and an attestation that he spent no time at the address where he claimed to live.

The explanation from Team Adams this time around is that the paperwork was botched by an accountant who was homeless at a time, the same person he has blamed for past screwups. Adams wrote a letter to his former partner saying he was turning over his share of the place, but as it turns out, it takes a lot more than that to actually transfer the ownership of property. The handover still hasn’t been formally completed, but the mayor says he hasn’t lived or made any money on the property in over a decade.

I am proud of you.”

De Blasio and his correction commissioner, Vincent Schiraldi, vowed a crackdown on officers missing work — charging in a lawsuit that the correction officers union was orchestrating a sickout that left the jails short-staffed and allowed conditions to descend into chaos. But Adams and his commissioner, Louis Molina, have been friendlier to the union and the mayor said he would give workers the "benefit of the doubt" unless an investigation finds evidence of abuse.

The inspection results were not promising. Of 3,025 businesses inspected from Dec. 27 to Dec. 31, just 31% were found to be following the order, Fabien Levy, a spokesman for de Blasio’s successor, Eric Adams, said Tuesday. On Jan. 1, when Adams took over, the city stopped the inspections altogether, Levy said. And despite de Blasio’s threats that defiant businesses would face fines starting at $1,000 and escalating penalties thereafter, no one has been fined — and, Levy said, the Adams administration has no plans to start doing so.”

But on Wednesday, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said it would add elevators and ramps to 95 percent of the subway’s stations by 2055 as part of a settlement agreement in two class-action lawsuits over the issue. The agreement, which still requires court approval, would establish a clear — albeit long-term — timeline to address a problem that has effectively barred people who use wheelchairs and mobility devices from fully accessing the city’s transit system, a backbone of New York’s social and economic life.”

FIRST IN PLAYBOOK — Mayor Adams has officially thrown his support behind a longtime municipal employee in the contentious race to unseat a Brooklyn district leader. The mayor attended a celebration and fundraiser Wednesday night to support Pinny Ringel, a government liaison to the Orthodox Jewish community, three people with knowledge of the appearance confirmed. As POLITICO previously reported, Adams' deputy Menashe Shapiro has been working to oust Democratic District Leader David Schwartz, who worked on Andrew Yang's competing mayoral bid last year. Schwartz also poses a threat to Brooklyn party boss Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, a close Adams ally and member of the Assembly — providing further motivation for City Hall's involvement in the hyper-local race for a relatively powerless job. Schwartz has been hustling to amass support, but was dealt a setback when the area's prominent Bobov sect united behind Ringel.  — Sally Goldenberg

On Wednesday, de Blasio alluded to getting a deal on his room, and noted that he and his wife moved back into their revamped home earlier this month.

While he declined to give specifics, de Blasio said many hotels offer discounted rates for long-term stays, especially at a time when the pandemic has sapped occupancy numbers. In this case, the hotel is owned by Muss Development, which has supported several of de Blasio’s past runs for office. The firm has said that it does not get involved in the stays of specific guests. The Marriott and de Blasio were able to hash out an agreement for a stay of between four to six months, de Blasio told POLITICO following a press conference touting the endorsement of Unite Here, a labor organization representing food service workers that is backing his congressional run. “It was a very unusual situation,” de Blasio said. “And it was a union hotel.” — Joe Anuta

Lyons: “The number of ‘extreme risk protection orders’ being filed by State Police has surged in the wake of an executive order issued by Gov. Kathy Hochul last month that mandated troopers pursue the court applications whenever they encounter a person who is ‘likely’ to be at risk of harm to themselves or to others. The civil cases almost always involve firearms, and whether a person who poses a potential public safety threat should have those weapons seized by police through a court order — either temporarily or for up to a year.

"The governor's order was issued days after a mass shooting in Buffalo in which 10 Black people were killed by an 18-year-old white man in what police said was a racially motivated attack. But many of these ‘Red Flag Law’ cases are being dismissed by judges across the state because the troopers and investigators filing the complicated applications with courts are often appearing at the hearings without attorneys and in proceedings in which they have been instructed by the State Police to not make legal arguments, according to correspondence and interviews with people familiar with the matter.”

The proposal is serving as an early litmus test on how the city will weigh grassroots community opposition with the dire need for affordable housing development under Mayor Eric Adams and a recently installed City Council.”

Smith and Yoav Gonen: “Last year, Randy Peers moved the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce from the 27th floor of an office tower in Downtown Brooklyn, where it had been located for 100 years, to the sprawling Industry City complex on the Sunset Park waterfront. He knew that in the post-COVID world, a traditional office high up in a skyscraper wouldn’t help him attract the talent he needed to make the Chamber thrive. But Industry City offered an electric mix of small manufacturers, creative companies, the Brooklyn Nets’ practice gym, and a wide variety of unique retailers, food purveyors and cultural outlets.”
