NYC councilwoman and Mamdani ally Alexa Aviles latest revealed in socialist millionaire’s club



New York City Councilwoman Alexa Aviles has emerged as the latest member of Gotham’s socialist millionaire’s club, a fact she’s worked to keep on the down low.

The Democratic Socialist of America member — and key ally of mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani who’s routinely been spotted on the campaign trail for him — declared $1.1 million to $1.8 million in assets in her latest annual disclosure.

The lefty lawmaker and her hubby apparently have no qualms about accumulating private property — they own a pair of Florida homes – on top of their main Greenwood Heights pad valued at $590,000 in Brooklyn, according to her 2024 filing with NYC’s Conflicts of Interest Board.

Aviles, 52, and Frankie Correa bought their first Florida condo in 2012 in a foreclosure sale for just $79,000, property records show, after the bank moved to seize the 2-bedroom home from 65-year-old Florida woman Danelia Fuste in 2009, at the height of the housing and financial crash that saw 10 million Americans lose their homes.

The couple bought their second home in the Sunshine State in April 2021 – a spacious 3-bed 2-bath in a gated Orlando community that boasts a pool, fitness center and walking trails – just as Aviles was kicking off her first run for office.

In a June interview with The Tenant where she said she thought “housing should be decommodified,” Aviles said the couple “own two apartments out of state that houses family members.”

But just two days before that interview was published, the Orlando condo she snapped up during the housing crash was listed for rent for $2,200, according to records on real estate website Trulia.

Six days later, the price was decreased to $1,900.

“This points to a clear profit motive,” said a Sunset Park resident who asked to remain anonymous. “She advocates for the decommodification of housing while personally engaging in the very practice she decries. This is not merely a nuance; it is a fundamental betrayal of the principles she claims to uphold.”

Aviles told The Post her mother-in-law and niece lived in the Florida homes, but that her niece moved out recently, which is why it was listed for rent.

“The Councilmember believes that affordable housing is a human right, which is why she supports a rent freeze and holding negligent and predatory landlords accountable,” a spokesperson told The Post.

Aviles was elected in 2021 to replace Carlos Menchaca to represent Red Hook, Sunset Park and other parts of South Brooklyn in a run backed by the DSA, with housing justice and affordability a key tenet of her campaign to appeal to the working-class elements in her district.

During her first year on the job, the two-term councilwoman used her office to host a DSA meeting, in a move that sparked concerns she violated city law.

She also touts her husband as a utility transport workers union member on her campaign page, but Correa, 56, stopped working for Brooklyn Union Gas, where he was doing sales, two years ago.

He also at one point at least aspired to embrace full throated capitalism as a real estate and investment broker, records from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority show, but the councilwoman’s office denied either being a current source of income.

Before she joined public life, Aviles was a high-ranking program director for the Scherman Foundation, a private philanthropic organization that “invests in the economic, political, and cultural transformation necessary for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to reclaim and build power.” She made $215,387 in annual compensation to manage a portfolio of millions of dollars for left wing organizations like Make the Road NY.

Aviles has been one of comrade Mamdani’s hardest working surrogates on the campaign trail.

The councilwoman spoke at his “A City We Can Win” rally on June 14, 10 days before the Democratic Primary.

“I’m so honored to be part of a people-powered movement that’s kicking a corrupt mayor out of City Hall and ushering in a new era of politics for New York’s working class under our next mayor Zohran Mamdani,” she shouted to a cheering crowd.

“Big real estate and Wall Street billionaires . . . bought City Hall so the wealthiest New Yorkers could get more, while the rest of us fight for crumbs.”

Other lefty pols recently revealed to have substantial windfalls include “Squad” members Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn).

Financial disclosures showed Pressley with $2.5 to $8 million in assets, while Jimmy Choos-wearing Omar declared between $6 million and $30 million, despite crying “disinformation” in February when asked about online speculation she was a secret millionaire. 

Meanwhile comrade Mamdani declared a measly $2,000 in the bank on his last state disclosures, despite his privileged upbringing and family money, and sharing a rent-stabilized apartment with his wife on a six-figure salary.
