This socialist’s fall from grace in the world of capitalism

A recent revelation has shown that NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams faced a significant setback in his financial endeavors.

Williams lost ownership of a two-family home in Brooklyn to Bank of America after accumulating close to $1 million in debt over a span of 15 years due to his refusal to pay the mortgage. The property, located at 1392 E. 98th St. in Canarsie, was acquired by Williams through a $389,600 mortgage in 2006 to support a business venture that ultimately failed – a vegan sandwich shop in Park Slope.

Despite earning a yearly salary of $184,800 as a public advocate and additional income from renting out the property, Williams ceased making the $1,344 monthly payments in 2010. This led to a foreclosure action by Bank of America, resulting in a debt totaling $784,927.13 by May 2023.

After unsuccessful appeals, the property was put up for sale through a foreclosure auction, where no bidders offered an amount exceeding the outstanding debt, now standing at $944,582.

Councilman Robert Holden, a vocal critic of Williams, highlighted the irony of a public official failing to manage his personal finances while holding a taxpayer-funded position.

Williams, who originally purchased the home in 2005 for $370,500, saw full ownership transferred to him a year later.

Despite attributing his financial struggles to loan terms and non-paying tenants, Williams’ real estate troubles have raised skepticism about his ability to advocate for tenants effectively.

In response to criticisms, Williams’ spokesperson emphasized his stance against exploitative banking practices and predatory actions that contribute to the city’s housing crisis.

Overall, Williams’ financial missteps serve as a cautionary tale, shedding light on the challenges individuals face in navigating the complex world of real estate and entrepreneurship.
