What is it with these
angry Democrats? Do they just expect nobody will notice they haven't paid their mortgage for over a year?
State Sen. Kevin Parker -- a vocal supporter of foreclosure relief for troubled homeowners -- has good reason to take that position.
His own two-story Flatbush house is in danger of being repossessed.
According to court papers, Parker, a four-term Democrat representing Brooklyn's 21st Senatorial District, hasn't paid a dime in more than a year toward the $488,000 mortgage he took out in 2006.
The bank, DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc., is running out of patience.
"You are in danger of losing your home," the ominous foreclosure complaint, filed in November 2008, warns in capital letters on the cover page.
Property records show that Parker bought the one-family, brick row house on Bedford Avenue in December 2006 for $610,000, borrowing $488,000 from New Century Mortgage Corporation.
New Century, which has since folded, unloaded the loan onto DLJ Mortgage Capital, which claims in the lawsuit that it received only its first eight monthly payments of $3,329.20 each.
DLJ waited a little more than a year before beginning the foreclosure action.
Parker isn't taking things well.
Brooklyn state Sen. Kevin Parker was busted last night after allegedly attacking a New York Post photographer who was trying to take his picture, police said.
Parker, a Democrat from the 21st District, became enraged when Post staff photographer William C. Lopez snapped a shot of him getting out of a car at his parents' home on Avenue H in Flatbush at about 7 p.m.
Lopez, who filed a formal complaint with cops, said he was standing on a public street -- where it's legal to take pictures -- when he shot the photo of the politician.
Shortly after the flash went off, the hulking Parker started chasing him, the photographer said.
"I'm standing in the street, I took one photograph of him and he charged at me," Lopez recalled.
"I turned around and ran and he was actually catching up to me. I turned a corner and ran half a block and he's chasing me the entire way."
