Authorities were also probing whether the businessmen picked up the tab for some of Lewis-Martin’s well-known karaoke parties.

It was not immediately clear if the latest charges are part of a new criminal case or will be tacked onto her existing indictment.

The former top Adams administration official had her home raided last year by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and her phones seized after returning from an overseas vacation.

She abruptly resigned from City Hall over a weekend in mid-December — weeks before she had planned to step down and days before charges against her were unsealed.

Lewis-Martin allegedly traded favors with a pair of hoteliers in exchange for $100,000 in bribes that were used to buy a Porsche for her son, Glenn Martin II — who goes by DJ Suave Luciano.

The mother-son duo were named in the indictment, along with hotel magnates Mayank Dwivedi and real estate investor Raizada Vaid.

She has repeatedly maintained she has done nothing wrong.

Lewis-Martin’s latest corruption case comes at one of the worst times for the sitting mayor, who is facing a steep uphill challenge in his independent reelection bid after his first term was mired in corruption allegations.

Adams has so far refused to move on from his longtime friend, who is working on the campaign as a volunteer, despite pressure from supporters.

A rep for the Manhattan DA declined to comment.

City Hall didn’t immediately comment.
