The city has identified Gotham’s 250 most decrepit residential buildings and says that the owners collectively owe more than $3.4 million in unpaid emergency repairs, amNew York Metro has learned.
The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) plans to go after the scofflaw owners of those 250 properties in question through its Alternative Enforcement Program (AEP), a program that requires landlords with “excessive” housing code violations to fix up those infractions within a certain timeframe, according to the agency.
