Jumaane Williams, NYCâs Public Advocate, lost his Brooklyn home to foreclosure after accruing nearly $1 million in debt over 15 years. He had taken out a mortgage for $389,600 in 2006 to fund a vegan sandwich shop, but defaulted on payments in 2010. A court confirmed his debt had risen to $784,927.13 by May 2023, with his home reverting back to Bank of America as the property was not sold at auction. Critics argue that his financial mismanagement reflects poorly on his ability to govern effectively.
Williams thought his mortgage would support a thriving business venture, but after failing to pay, he lost a nearly $1 million home to foreclosure.
With $784,927.13 owed by May 2023, Williams' inability to manage both finances and a business has raised serious questions about his capabilities as a public leader.
