An FBI raid linked to NYC Mayor Eric Adams uncovered that KSK Construction did not obtain permits for a 12-story residential project at 280 East Houston St. in the East Village. The oversight was discovered when the city’s buildings department was questioned by Gothamist, by which time five stories were already built. The investigation was triggered by a raid on mayoral campaign operative Briana Suggs’ home, revealing KSK’s involvement in a 2021 fundraiser for Adams. The federal government is probing possible illegal foreign donations funneled through KSK. Adams has faced scrutiny for other questionable business relationships and campaign fund activities.
