A woke New York City mayoral aide who said it was racist for white people to own property faces a new scandal over her father's capitalist antics.  

Cea Weaver, who runs Zohran Mamdani's Office to Protect Tenants, outraged New Yorkers with her calls to 'seize private property' and branded gentrification an act of white supremacy. 

The 37-year-old, who burst into tears when confronted about her views by a Daily Mail reporter on Wednesday morning, failed to address how the push would impact her father, a history professor who is also a landlord. 

Stewart A Weaver and his wife, Tatyana Bakhmetyeva, live in a picturesque home in Rochester's Highland Park neighborhood worth more than $514,000.

But the couple also own a near-$159,000 townhouse in nearby Brighton that they rent out as a secondary stream of income, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The University of Rochester professor and his wife purchased the home in June 2024 for $224,900, property records showed. But the Monroe County assessor's office last year only valued the residence at $158,600.

Mr Weaver has publicly backed his daughter's calls for tenant protections and even testified before the New York State Assembly's housing committee in May 2019 in favor of 'robust tenant protection' and rent stabilization.

He told the legislature: 'In the years that I have been myself renting a home in Brighton, New York, I have not raised the rent once.' He argued that the rent his tenants paid covered the mortgage and built up his equity in the home.

Given he and Bakhmetyeva purchased their Brighton townhouse just two years ago, it is unclear to which property Mr Weaver was referring. The Daily Mail did not find any records linking the couple to other residences in Brighton.

Her father's financial sideline was uncovered just one day after the Daily Mail revealed Weaver's mother Professor Celia Applegate owns a $1.4 million home in Nashville. 

Weaver previously tweeted that 'homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy' and that 'homeownership is racist' in social media posts that also urged people to 'impoverish the white middle class.' 

In another Twitter missive from 2018, she wrote: 'There is no such thing as "good gentrifier," only people who are actively working on projects to dismantle white supremacy and capitalism and people who aren't.'
