A conservative group is running a digital ad taking on Rep. Hakeem Jeffries — a front-runner to replace House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — for paying just $213 a year in property taxes on his $1.2 million condo thanks to a legal loophole he backed in the state Assembly.The American Action Network accuses Jeffries of “blatant hypocrisy” for exploiting a law that cuts his own taxes to close to zero while advocating tax hikes on others.The condo Jeffries bought in 2007 in the six-story, 40-unit complex on Underhill Avenue in red-hot Prospect Heights benefits from a massive property tax break granted under the 421-A abatement program that housing advocates have long complained is skewed toward wealthy developers and well-to-do tenants.
