You dirty dog! Hunt on for renegade food vendor

He’s the most-wanted hot-dog peddler in town.

A renegade Manhattan food cart vendor is on the lam after accumulating a stomach-churning $330,000 in unpaid fines, The Post has learned.

Ehab Elsayed allegedly managed to maintain his livelihood despite an eight-year record of unsanitary salesmanship by securing new Health Department licenses using fraudulent IDs.

City records show he had four licenses yanked between 2005 and 2012.

Officials said he was able to secure new ones by using different names and — in at least two cases — altered Social Security numbers, despite accumulating more than 400 summonses.

Officials said his violations ranged from not protecting his food from contamination to vending on restricted Midtown streets.

His prior names included Mohamed Elkholy and Mohamed Elsayed, according to city records.

Ehab Elsayed, the name listed on his most recent license with the city, didn’t bother showing up to any of his violation hearings or administrative trials.

He was finally busted by the NYPD on June 15, 2012, and hit with felony forgery, tampering with public records and other charges.

For reasons that are not publicly available, the felony charges were reduced and the case was sealed, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court clerk.

Remarkably, he continued peddling food even after his brush with the criminal justice system and the loss of his license for a fourth time.

He was arrested for selling food without a DOH-issued license on Jan. 22, 2013, at Seventh Avenue and 47th Street.

When Elsayed skipped out on a court date last June, cops issued a warrant for his arrest, according to the court clerk.

The NYPD could not confirm that a warrant had been issued.

Attempts to find Elsayed at two former addresses in Queens were unsuccessful.
