FEEDING ON

- BY JAMES FANELLI

TWIN BROTHERS with identical eye-popping salaries have been double-dipping off their nonprofit that provides housing to the city’s homeless — even as their clients suffered poor service and have been blindsided by eviction notices.

Mark and Solomon Lazar, the sons of Joseph Lazar, a former political ally of Mayor de Blasio, each make $240,000 a year as the top executives of the Brooklynba­sed nonprofit LCG Community Services. But their big checks don’t end there.

LCG also paid $1.94 million to the Lazar brothers’ private firm in 2015 and $1.4 million in 2014, records show.

Some have also griped that LCG case managers and specialist­s who assist in finding permanent housing didn’t meet with them on a regular basis.

Even worse, since August, at least 45 families living in Bronx cluster sites that LCG leases have faced eviction, according to a Legal Aid Society lawyer representi­ng some of the families.
