The developer suing the city over his losing bid for the Kingsbridge Armory project has filed an ethics complaint against U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat and his former chief of staff, calling for an investigation into their alleged improper ties to the winning bidder.
In an April 12 letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics shared with the Bronx Times, Manny Tavarez of Agallas Equities accused Espaillat, who represents parts of the northwest Bronx and upper Manhattan, of violating House rules and federal bribery laws. The Bronx Times contacted Espaillat’s office and has not received a response.
