NYPD and Department of Investigation officers at the Atlantic Development Group.

Investigators Thursday raided the Manhattan office of a major developer who funneled thousands in campaign cash to local politicians, including White House aide Adolfo Carrión.

City Department of Investigation agents spent hours gathering documents from the 155 Sixth Ave. offices of Atlantic Development Group.

Armed with a search warrant from the Manhattan district attorney’s office, agents and cops removed dozens of boxes of records.

DOI spokeswoman Diane Struzzi confirmed the raid but declined further comment.

A spokesman for Atlantic, Lee Silberstein, said only: “There’s an ongoing investigation, and Atlantic is cooperating with authorities.”

One target of the probe is a major Bronx project, Boricua Village, that’s at the heart of a Daily News investigation into Carrión, the director of White House urban policy who, until last year, was Bronx borough president.
