President Obama's new urban czar renovated his Bronx home with help from the architect on a major development that needed his approval, a Daily News investigation has found.more....Adolfo Carrión, who last week left his job as Bronx borough president to be director of the White House Office on Urban Policy, hired the architect to design a renovation of his Victorian two-family on City Island.
Weeks after the architect's work on Carrión's house was complete, Carrión approved the architect's project.
Carrión would not say how much he paid the architect, if anything. He also refused to provide copies of checks for the work.
"I hired an architect on an arm's-length commercial basis to draw up plans for a renovation, as required by city law," he said. "That was completely unrelated to my professional activities and entirely proper."
The White House declined to comment.
