Adolfo Carrión Jr. speaks outside the Bronx County Building
The probe of White House urban czar Adolfo Carrión has widened to explore whether he received a significant discount on the renovation of his home, the Daily News has learned.
The former Bronx borough president, who started last month as President Obama’s director of urban policy, has acknowledged that he has not paid the architect, even though the work was done two years ago.
Now a law enforcement agency has obtained documents from the contractor who built a new porch and installed a balcony on Carrión’s Victorian home on City Island, sources familiar with the investigation told The News.

The documents show the project’s estimated cost was $50,000. Carrión wound up paying less than half the estimate - $24,000.
The Bronx district attorney has said he’s looking into The News’ report that Carrión had yet to pay his architect. The office declined to comment about the latest inquiry.
