Brooklyn Senator faces foreclosure

State Senator Kevin Parker’s two-story Flatbush home is facing foreclosure, according to the Post. The four-term Democrat representing Brooklyn’s 21st district hasn’t paid his $488,000 mortgage in more than a year. Parker obtained the mortgage in 2006 with lender New Century Mortgage Corp., which folded, and the loan now belongs to DLJ Mortgage Capital. DLJ claims in a lawsuit that it received only eight monthly payments, and the lender waited just over a year to start foreclosure action. Neighbors said there has been a for sale sign in front of the house for six months, and no one has been living there. Parker has been an advocate for foreclosure relief, and last summer announced he supported “Operation Protect Your Home,” an effort to help homeowners keep their properties.
