A city parks worker allegedly filched $30,000 in payments from people reserving space in a historic Queens mansion for weddings and other celebrations during a four-year spree, authorities said.

Nicole Gamory, 44, of Brooklyn, diverted security deposits and four-figure payments to her personal account from clients booking events at the Oak Ridge House, a stunning 1905 Dutch Colonial building in Forest Park.

“Gamory was entrusted with payments from clients looking to reserve a singular experience for joyous milestones, including birthday celebrations and wedding receptions,” said Margaret Garnett, commissioner of the city Department of Investigation. “Instead, (she) crashed their parties by allegedly pocketing the funds.”

The crooked clerk was suspended from her $59,000-a-year job. She was charged with a string of larceny and fraud charges.


Starting in 2014, Gamory allegedly collected checks and money orders from clients for planned events.

Why does everyone in Queens with a little authority starts gaming the system? This is only the right of politicians and their hangers on.

Well, don't cha no, this is a trickle-down economy. It starts at the top. When politicians and hangers-on get away with fraud and theft, our dual-justice system captures the "monkey-do" people on the bottom and sends them to jail. Meanwhile, the ones at the top hide behind each other and play CYA. Until the ones at the top get caught AND PROSECUTED, it will never change.

Personally knowing Nicole she did steal the money, it paid her bills and she even had surgery to a new Brazilian butt lift! Talk about desperate she probably only got a slap on the hand! So sad and wonder why black people cant get ahead. She makes it bad for the rest not to mention living on public assistance and section 8 what a waste of a human life.
