Tolib Mansurov allegedly funneled illegal cash to Eric Adams’ 2021 campaign. Prosecutors say he then texted the mayor for help lifting a stop-work order while constructing a pair of buildings in East Flatbush.
A Brooklyn developer accused of funneling thousands of dollars in illegal contributions to Eric Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign was constructing a stalled 56-unit luxury condo building and a commercial tower in East Flatbush at the time prosecutors say he texted Adams asking for help lifting a stop-work order, building records show.
At the time, construction on the six-story residential building Mansurov is developing at 408 Lefferts Ave. was stalled. The project was underbecause an on-site concrete inspector couldn’t prove he was certified for the job, according to building records. By January 2023, the buildings department still wouldn’t allow Mansurov’s company to continue working above the fourth floor.
"Mayor, brother I want to thank you for your help. DOB issue partially resolved and they promised to expedite the process. Thank you, you have my continued support,” Mansurov wrote, according to the indictment. A spokesperson for the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, which is prosecuting the indictment, declined to comment.
Mansurov is listed as managing member of the limited liability company that filed permits to build the six-story condo complex at 408 Lefferts Ave. in February 2020, after seeking permission to demolish a trio of one- and two-story homes on nearby lots the previous year.
