An NYPD official linked to the Chinese Communist Party was fined $5,000 for soliciting donations for Mayor Eric Adams — as his transportation boss was dinged for supporting Kamala Harris’ campaign on the job, officials said Thursday.

The city Conflicts of Interest Board announced the two settlements, including with Lin Gui’an, the former assistant commissioner of the now-disbanded Police Commissioner Liaison Unit.

Because the role involved “substantial policy discretion,” COIB notified Lin in March 2024 — a month after he started the gig — that he was not legally allowed to campaign for any political candidate, the settlement document shows.

But that June, the police official asked for and collected 15 donations — totaling $4,100 — for Adams’ re-election campaign, according to the document signed by Lin and released by the COIB.

The $5,000 fine was appropriate because Lin was “a high-level law enforcement officer who should be held to a high standard of compliance with the conflicts of interest law,” the COIB wrote in the legal filing.

The Post first reported on Lin’s communist party ties in September. He was a top aide to former NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban, who resigned from the force while under scrutiny by the feds.

It’s unclear if Lin still has a job with the NYPD, six months after The Post reported that his unit had been quietly disbanded. A department spokesperson didn’t return a request for comment Thursday.

The COIB — the independent board is charged with enforcing the city’s conflicts of interest laws — also announced that Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez was fined for illegal campaigning, too.

Rodriguez agreed to pay $1,750 for giving a speech in support of Harris’ presidential campaign in August.

The transportation honcho, who makes nearly $250,000, according to public records, made the remarks while wearing DOT apparel at a department-organized “Summer Streets” event on the Grand Concourse in The Bronx.

“From the stage at the Poe Park rest stop on the Grand Concourse, I gave official remarks in which I urged the assembled crowd to support Kamala Harris for President,” Rodriguez admitted in the signed settlement document.

“I represent that I did not plan these remarks and that they were made spontaneously,” he said.

New York City’s conflicts of interest law prohibits public servants from using city time or resources to support political campaigns.
