CLINTON HILL — PIX11’S COMMUNITY CLOSEUP spotlighted a Black Clinton Hill senior who says she lost her brownstone through deed fraud after a refinancing deal soured.

The longtime resident said she had benefited from neighborhood development before the alleged fraud.

PIX11 reporter Jay Dow notes the case underscores ongoing concerns over deed theft targeting seniors and homeowners of color in Brooklyn.
