Embattled city Finance Commissioner Martha Stark quit today amid a probe of her dating a former subordinate, who quickly moved up in the ranks at the agency. Mayor Bloomberg had tried to show her the door a week after The Post broke the story on April 12, but she initially refused to go, sources said. The mayor had asked the city Department of Investigation and Conflicts of Interest Board to investigate after the Post reported that Stark is romantically involved with ex-assistant commissioner Dara Ottley- Brown.

She resigned from the company, Tarragon Corp. Stark and her lawyer also declined requests for comment. Stark also came under fire recently for allowing an administrative judge with the Parking Violations Bureau who is married to her first deputy commissioner to bill for office hours when he was not at work. Her resignation puts Bloomberg, who is running for re-election this year, in the awkward spot of having only two African-American commissioners — Human Rights Commission head Patricia.
