One Brooklyn-- Calling for an Audit and Investigation into Possible Deed Fraud in the Borough

Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams and Council Member Robert Cornegy, Jr., the chair of the Committee on Housing and Buildings, called for a full-scale forensic audit and investigation on the federal, state, and city levels into the issue of deed fraud in the borough of Brooklyn, including the role that the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development's Third Party Transfer (TPT) program may be unintentionally playing in defrauding homeowners of their property. In letters they sent last week to United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Richard P. Donoghue, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey S. Berman, New York State Attorney General Barbara Underwood, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, and Public Advocate Letitia James, Borough President Adams and Council Member Cornegy additionally asked for partnership with the City Council to enact a temporary moratorium on TPT seizures and other foreclosures in Brooklyn such as to ensure no illegal activity is occurring. Borough President Adams and Council Member Cornegy will be joined by a number of impacted homeowners who have reached out to their offices in recent months. They will speak to the need to do more in ensuring bad actors and government programs are not forcing seniors and low-income residents out of their homes in the face of a changing borough.
