NYC Launches Investigation Into Kushner Cos.

Описание: (19 Mar 2018) A New York City official is launching an investigation into falsified documents filed by the Kushner Companies with the city, saying that they should have been discovered earlier because the documents were hidden in plain sight.
Councilman Ritchie Torres says that the Department of Buildings should have spotted the falsified numbers because paperwork at the city taxation agency contradicted them.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that a tenant rights watchdog group found that the Kushner Companies, run by President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, had filed more than 80 documents stating that it had no rent-regulated units in its buildings. It had hundreds.
The falsified documents allowed the Kushner Companies to escape extra scrutiny during construction projects that the watchdog group said led to harassment of rent regulated tenants.
The Kushner Companies says it outsources the preparations of such documents and fixes any mistakes immediately. Records show the company did file some amended documents, often more than a year later.
