Hard left fixer for woke NYC mayor Mamdani lives in $1.5m Brooklyn brownstone his PARENTS bought for him... and it's on controversial 'shame the rich' list published by his boss

A leftist New York City leader who has campaigned to tax the rich lives in a seven-figure Brooklyn home purchased by his parents that was named on his boss's controversial 'shame the rich' list.

Gustavo Gordillo, the co-chair of the NYC chapter of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), resides in a $1.5 million two-story pad in Brooklyn's Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood, property records showed.

Despite his privileged position, the 38-year-old has called for lawmakers to 'tax the rich' and insisted on the redistribution of land 'from landowners to the landless.'

He has also called for a rent freeze and last month argued that landlords do not have the constitutional right to make double digit returns on investments.

However he failed to share that his recently-renovated home was purchased by his parents through their company Chucuito LLC, an embarrassing detail which emerged when the property was included in Mayor Zohran Mamdani's so-called 'shame the rich' list of second homes owned by the wealthy.

The recently-renovated home was flagged by the NYC Department of Finance along with thousands of other properties as potentially falling foul of Mamdani's controversial tax on luxury second homes.

The list, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, indicates that Gordillo's Decatur Street home was purchased by Chucuito LLC in April 2019 for $935,000 and has only grown in value since then.

Chucuito LLC is owned by Gordillo's father, Gustavo Gordillo Snr, and his wife, Elizabeth. Gordillo Snr confirmed to the New York Post on Tuesday that the corporation had purchased the home and 'then we did the renovations.'

Madmoney and his crew are despicable, but I don’t imagine a $1.5 million dwelling is much in NYC. However, the fact that his parents bought it for him is telling, and subject to ridicule.

Don’t be a hypocrite, Gustavo. Offer as many homeless people who want to move in with you do so.

You got that right. And a 55 gal of Dawn Dish Soap to get that oil out of his hair.

“ his recently-renovated home was purchased by his parents through their company Chucuito LLC”

I hope someone looks into whether or not any of the purchase price or anything else related to this house has been taken as a business expense.

Commie revolutionaries are often the useless sons and daughters of the ultra wealthy... and ‘academics’. The people you almost NEVER see at commie gatherings are workers. Real workers. They ‘get’ the con...

Note to the IRS :
$1.5M for the home is greater than the annual allowable gift and must be reported as income.
