The frat bro son of one of New York City’s most reviled landlords was recorded harassing an Uber driver in Michigan, calling the man a “minimum wage fa---t” and mocking him for needing to work for a living.

Jake Croman, a member of the University of Michigan’s Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter, is now being investigated by his frat for his recorded roadside rage at an Uber driver, according to the Michigan Review.

That means he’s following the flagrant footsteps of his father, Steven Croman — a Gotham property magnate who’s under investigation by State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for allegedly forcing rent-stabilized tenants out of their homes.

Steven Croman, who lives in a swanky Lenox Hill pad, is one of the most notorious names in New York real estate. He’s been under investigation since 2014 for allegedly using illegal tactics to cast out residents from some of the rent-stabilized Manhattan properties owned by his company, 9300 Realty. Beleaguered tenants have also accused him of hiring a former cop, Anthony Falconite, to force them out through intimidation.
