    FBI agents hit the Bronx home of an embattled top aide to Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday, law enforcement sources told The Post.

    Agents were spotted at the Pelham Bay home of Winnie Greco, who is already under probe by the city Department of Investigation over allegations she improperly used her City Hall position to get perks, including renovations to her home.

    Federal agents closed off the roadway outside the home and were still there as of mid-afternoon, according to reports.

    It wasn’t immediately clear if Thursday’s law enforcement action, first reported by News 12 Bronx , was connected to that investigation.

    A spokesman for the FBI New York field office told The Post on Thursday that the agency “carried out law enforcement activities at that location today.”

    He declined to comment further.

    Top Adams aide suffered ‘medical episode,’ rushed to hospital as feds raided home over donor probe: sources

    Greco, 61, Adam’s $100,000-a-year director of Asian affairs, came under scrutiny late last year when The City first reported she was under DOI probe over claims that she promised a campaign volunteer a job in the Adams administration if he performed work on her kitchen early in 2022. She also allegedly reached out to a prominent Chinese business exec to make a $10,000 donation to attend a Chinese-focused event held by the mayor at Gracie Mansion.

    Greco’s affiliation with Adams dates to his days as Brooklyn borough president when she worked as a volunteer fundraiser and Chinese community liaison, once helping to arrange Adams’ trip to China.

    She is the second top Adams aide to face scrutiny in the past year.

    In November, the FBI raided the Brooklyn home of Brianna Suggs , a top fundraiser for the mayor who was allegedly implicated in a kickback scheme involving the Turkish government.

    Adams told The Post at the time that Suggs continued to do “administrative work” for his campaign following the federal raid.

    City Hall on Thursday told The Post that “no federal law enforcement official has contacted the administration about anything related to Winnie Greco.

    “We always expect all our employees to adhere to the strictest ethical guidelines,” Adams rep Fabien Levy said in an emailed statement, adding City Hall would “always follow the law.”

    “As we have repeatedly said, we don’t comment on matters that are under review, but will fully cooperate with any review underway,” Levy said. “The mayor has not been accused of any wrongdoing.”
