New York Post: Comptoller John Liu today confirmed that he’s investigating the posh Brooklyn eatery on the East River at Fulton Landing – a week after his office released an audit suggesting its sister eatery in Manhattan may have stiffed city taxpayers on rent.

A Liu spokesman said auditors now plan “to look into” O’Keefe’s city lease to operate the River Café, which runs through 2025.

Unlike Water Club, which pays rent determined as a percentage of gross receipts, River Cafe’s lease pegs the rent, currently running at $6,177 a month, on assessed property values which, according to the Post article, result in a rental “well below DUMBO’s prime market rates.”
