Former Mayor Bill de Blasio settled his historic tab with New York City over the misuse of his NYPD security detail during his short-lived presidential bid.
De Blasio will have to shell out nearly $330,000 to repay taxpayers after he repeatedly tapped cops for “political purposes” — including covering the tab for his detail to attend a Red Sox game in Los Angeles during a campaign trip, which The Post exclusively revealed.
The Conflict of Interest Board slapped the former mayor with a $155,000 fine in 2022 following an extensive city Department of Investigation probe the year prior that skewered de Blasio’s action during his four-month failed attempt to get the Democratic nomination for president.
The settlement struck Wednesday forced de Blasio to pony up $100,000 up front but reduced the fine to just $10,000.
He then has to continue to make payments of $14,000 every three months.
But if he defaults, the ex-mayor would be on the hook for the full $475,000 tab.
“This settlement brings to a successful conclusion the first ever enforcement action brought by the Board against a Mayor of the City of New York,” COIB wrote in a release.
“Today I settled an outstanding case with the NYC COIB. I acknowledge that I made a mistake, and I deeply regret it. Now it’s time to move forward,” Blaz wrote on social media in response.
