NYC-CC46: The cops showed up at Mercedes Narcisse's (D) house. She blames her City Council opponents
Council Member Mercedes Narcisse of southeast Brooklyn was shocked to be awakened by NYPD officers knocking on the front door at around 1:30 a.m. early on June 7 while she and her family were sleeping.
The officers were following up on a series of six 311 complaints about the residence, including that there was excessive noise, unsanitary conditions on the exterior of the home and that the two-story attached house was being used as an illegal hotel – all of which Narcisse says are false accusations.
Four of the complaints have since been marked as closed by 311 on its service request tracker, with the remaining two still labeled as in progress.
Narcisse, who is facing a Democratic primary challenge from second-time candidate Dimple Willabus as well as a general election challenge, took to Instagram to address the matter. In a video, she shared that she believes the false reports were a political attack from one of her three opponents – Willabus on the Democratic and Conservative lines, Athena Clarke on the Republican ticket or Kenny Altidor, who didn’t make the ballot but has fundraised. She also mentioned the local Assembly Member Jaime Williams in relation to the unnamed candidate.
