#Trolls pose as Brooklyn Beep Eric Adams, report parking abuse to 311

Someone is trolling Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams by posing as him while calling in 311 reports for illegally parked cars.

A 311 report obtained by the Post shows that an “Eric Adams” using the same cell phone number as the 2021 city mayoral candidate filed a complaint on Sunday at 2:47 p.m. against an apparent cop using a city-issued parking placard to illegally block a fire hydrant in Brooklyn with an SUV.

The caller stated that a Honda CR-V with a placard from the NYPD in its windshield was parked in front of a fire hydrant on Nevins Street between State Street and Atlantic Avenue, according to the 311 report.

The park job happened just over a half-mile away from Brooklyn Borough Hall.

But the borough president — who has made excuses for his own staff’s questionable parking — claims he didn’t make the report.

“Someone is playing a hoax by making a call to 311 and using my well-known phone number as the source of the complaint,” Adams told The Post Monday.

Adams added, “I did not observe any police car blocking a hydrant” and “I never called 311.”

The politician said that the incident makes him “concerned that the 311 system would place a person’s number in their system without verifying such.”

Adams said a 311 rep phoned him Sunday night about the report “and I made it clear to them that I made no complaint and someone is playing a hoax.”

Last year, the City Council approved a plan to crackdown on widespread placard abuse.

But Adams has been accused of being soft on placard abuse.

In a town hall meeting in September, he said that if other city officials get to abuse the parking perks, he should too, Brooklyn Paper reported.

“I fought my entire life to make sure men that look like me don’t have different rules than anyone else,” Adams said, according to the outlet. “There’s one rule in this city, there’s not going to be a rule just for Eric Adams, the first African-American borough president.”

In August, Adams lashed out on social media when a user accused him of taking a weak stance on placard abuse.

“It’s a sad day in Brooklyn when our own borough president @BPEridAdams is too scared to say that it’s wrong for the police to park in a TURNING LANE,” the critic wrote on Twitter, according to Brooklyn Paper. “That shouldn’t be a bold statement in 2019.”

Adams responded to the anonymous jab by comparing the critic to the KKK.

“Not sure of what you are talking about but the greatest level of fear is reflected in people who hide their faces while throwing insults,” he wrote in the Aug. 27 tweet. “My life work speaks of my courage. Your hidden face is in the tradition of others who hid themselves with white hoods.”
