A deed theft that wasn’t deed theft has led to: state Attorney General Letitia James denying what her own office said, a showboat councilman playing the victim to the NYPD and Mayor Zohran Mamdani launching a whole new city office. The shady ownership of a Bedford-Stuyvesant brownstone yielded yet more twists and turns Friday as Mamdani unveiled the Mayor’s Office of Deed Theft Prevention alongside James and Councilman Chi Ossé — just two days after the pol’s controversial arrest during an anti-eviction protest at the home. The prolifically online Ossé has repeatedly claimed the woman whose eviction he was trying to block Wednesday was the victim of deed theft — an assertion refuted by the AG’s Office.
