Kushner Cos. Probed Over Harassment of Low-Income Tenants
“Kushner Cos. is being investigated in New York over allegations the real-estate company used disruptive construction projects to harass rent-regulated tenants so they’d move out of their apartments. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Tenant Protection Unit opened the probe after residents of Austin Nichols House in Brooklyn accused Kushner Cos. in a lawsuit of doing work ‘that released dangerous toxins into the air and created unlivable conditions for tenants, including vermin and excessive construction noise,’ the state said Monday in a statement.”
