Indeed, he may not live in the state of New York at all.<\/p>\n<p>Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/states\/new-york\/city-hall\/story\/2021\/06\/08\/burning-the-midnight-oil-eric-adams-mysterious-whereabouts-off-the-campaign-trail-1385412\">reported<\/a> on Tuesday that Adams, who spent 22 years with the NYPD, has several addresses associated with his name, one of which is in New Jersey. According to Politico, Adams \u201cowns a three-unit rowhouse in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and a co-op in Fort Lee, N.J. that he bought with his partner.\u201d In 1992, he co-purchased a co-op in Prospect Heights, but he has said he hasn\u2019t lived there in 10 years and no longer has an ownership stake in the property, however, he included this address on the registration forms for his current mayoral campaign as well as his 2017 borough president campaign. The Bed-Stuy property was added to the 2021 campaign form, Politico reported.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly, Adams contributed to Staten Island Assemblyman Charles Fall last summer using his Prospect Place address, though the property was occupied by another resident at the time. Campaign adviser Evan Thies told Politico that the campaign would be amending documents that still list the Prospect Place address.<\/p>\n<p>Adams held a press conference on Wednesday to address the reports questioning his residency, which he conducted from in front of his Bed-Stuy property that he called \u201cmy primary residence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my block, my neighbors,\u201d he said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/06\/09\/politics\/eric-adams-new-york-city-mayor-primary-brooklyn-apartment\/index.html\">according to CNN<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m proud to be a resident of Bed-Stuy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Politico reported, however, official records and media reports seem to dispute Adams\u2019 claims about living in this property:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"23.816827344435\">\n<p><em>For starters, Adams is registered to vote on the first floor of 936 Lafayette Ave., yet a tenant who has lived there for years is listed under the same unit in multiple documents obtained by POLITICO. And last month,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/citylimits.org\/2021\/05\/24\/the-next-mayor-may-be-their-neighbor-these-new-yorkers-dont-care\/\">the publication City Limits reported<\/a>\u00a0that most of Adams\u2019 neighbors did not know he lived on their block, or that he is running for mayor.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To further confuse matters, Adams\u2019 voter registration form shows a change of address in January \u2014 the day after a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/news\/politics\/new-york-elections-government\/ny-nyc-mayoral-race-eric-adams-mayor-landlord-20210121-6lhuakpbe5fc5ln2wdvvdpb5wa-story.html\">Daily News article<\/a>\u00a0questioned why the Bed-Stuy property was not registered with the city\u2019s housing agency as required. Thies said the change was a clerical update to a previous address, and that Adams has been registered to vote in Bed-Stuy since 2017. He added that the property has been registered with the city, though the agency\u2019s website still indicates it has not.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>He also said Adams lives in the basement apartment but rarely sleeps there due to his hectic schedule as an elected official and a mayoral candidate. The confusion over who occupies the first floor likely stems from a recent renovation that led to a change in the unit numbers, Thies said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Adams seems to mostly sleep in Borough Hall, in his office, Politico noted.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
