NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his wife Rama Duwaji began moving into the official mayoral residence on Monday, leaving behind their leaky, one-bedroom apartment in Queens for a fully staffed mansion in Manhattan.
For Mamdani, the historic house stands in particularly sharp contrast to his previous living quarters: a $2,300 per month one bedroom apartment that lacked a washer and dryer, and was prone to flooding from a busted pipe.
The couple’s new digs, meanwhile, boast 11,000 square feet (1,021 square meters) of space, a private chef, ornate ballroom and a veranda overlooking the East River. The home also features the original fireplace upon which Alexander Hamilton died following his duel with Aaron Burr and, according to the city’s last mayor, Eric Adams, at least one ghost.
In his remarks Monday, Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, appeared aware that the relocation might seem at odds with his pledge to lead a “government that looks and lives like the people it represents.”
Once settled at Gracie Mansion, he said he plans on “opening it up to New Yorkers who are not often the ones who get to visit such a place as this.” As for any cosmetic changes, he described an “aspirational hope” of installing bidets in the bathrooms.

Moving on up, to the Eastside... Jefferson.
Well, of course he did...
Primo digs for a primo commie.
AP. What a load of BS, as if they spent any time in that apartment. This is just insulting.
“It’s good to be king.”
And the Democrats cheer for their royalty and for dictators everywhere.
Ya. He had a 1 bedroom apt. But where did he live?
Old digs: “$2,300 per month one bedroom apartment that lacked a washer and dryer, and was prone to flooding from a busted pipe.”
PERFECTLY FITTING for a commie bastard. That’s soon how everybody in NYC will be living. He should be forced to forego Gracie Mansion and move back to that commie dump.
I bet the blathering Islamocommie had to buy his “wife.”
They need a visit from the local prolitariat for a Dr. Zhivago style real estate assesment. Show their solidarity.
And used second hand stuff
“Yes, this is a much better arrangement....more just”
Zohran’s mother - Mira Nair - is a multimillion dollar filmmaker.
How many is he taking in off the streets to sleep in the same room with him and his wife? If you’re not a part of the solution you’re apart of the problem
Zohran already came from a wealthy family with plush properties and swaths of land in Uganda, India, and the like. His mother’s net worth is in the millions due to successful film career - Mira Nair.
He should be in prison.
Hey, stop asking questions like that.
If you listen closely you can hear the sound of tax dollar making their way to his Swiss bank accounts.
“Hey, stop asking questions like that.”
I know. I’m not playing the dictatorship game right.
It would be ‘funny’ if Mandani and wife left several months of rent still unpaid in that 1 bedroom apartment.
Yes, they had the money all that time, but never paid up because they thought ‘it was unfair, and didn’t like the Landlord’s tone of voice!’. ///
