DocGo, a medical testing company which Mayor Eric Adams’ administration gave a $432 million contract for migrant services, allegedly wasted millions of dollars on unfilled hotel rooms and unauthorized subcontractors, according to an audit city Comptroller Brad Lander’s office released Tuesday.
In the audit, Lander’s office found that the city Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD), which holds the emergency no-bid contract with DocGo, did not properly oversee the contract, costing millions of taxpayer dollars. The report — analyzing the first two months of the contract in May and June 2023 — found that close to 80% of the city’s payments to DocGo during that period were either not properly documented or fell outside of the contract’s terms.
