Scandal? Ha!

Blaz aide tied to dubious donors gets 2 raises

AS INVESTIGATORS probed questionable contributions to Mayor de Blasio, a City Hall staffer linked to donors under scrutiny got a promotion and two raises, the Daily News has learned.

Avi Fink was promoted to deputy chief of staff and got a raise from $123,483 to $160,000 in October, city records show.

Another raise, on the order of $15,000, came March 1, records show.

The list of alleged rogues includes businessmen Jeremy Reichberg, 43, and Jona Rechnitz, 33, who each raised thousands in campaign cash for de Blasio.

Fink, the mayor’s liaison to the Jewish community, played a central role in introducing the mayor to the pair, who served on Hizzoner’s inauguration committee, according to multiple sources.

Reichberg was charged last June with bribing a group of NYPD officers and keeping them as “cops on call” to assist with a host of personal issues. The bribes allegedly covered pricey meals and hookers.

The Borough Park, Brooklyn, bigwig has pleaded not guilty.

His friend Rechnitz, a real estate investor, pleaded guilty last year to making campaign contributions to public officials in exchange for government action.

De Blasio was cleared of any criminal culpability in mid-March.

An elected official and a political consultant familiar with the Jewish community criticized him for doing nothing to warn de Blasio to stay away from Reichberg, who played up his wealth despite no obvious source of income.

Fink, who declined an interview request, was questioned by authorities investigating the scandalous Rivington House deal that enabled a Lower East Side nursing home to be flipped and redeveloped as luxury condos.

City Hall says developer Joel Landau misled city officials into believing he planned to keep the building as a health care site. Landau

made a contribution to de Blasio, but did not come under investigation for that.

Fink admitted he “took a meeting” with Landau in City Hall in 2014.

But he told investigators from the city controller’s office that he “didn’t have a great recollection of it.”

The City Hall staffer and more than 30 of his colleagues have maintained that they were unaware that lifting a deed restriction on the former AIDS nursing home would generate a $72 million profit for the donor.

The mayor’s chief spokesman defended Fink’s promotion.

“Avi is an extraordinarily important, talented member of the City Hall team,” Eric Phillips said. “He’s been involved at a senior level in several high-profile policy successes.”

Fink got his start in politics as a low-level staffer for then-Rep. Anthony Weiner in 2008.
