AG scores $417K from Newburgh landlords

New York Attorney General Letitia James has achieved a significant victory by securing a $417,697 settlement from Newburgh landlords for severe code violations and failing to provide proper living conditions at The Kenney Apartments. This settlement not only addresses the immediate concerns but also ensures that tenants receive overdue rent refunds. The move underscores the AG's commitment to tenant rights and highlights the importance of holding property owners accountable for neglect that endangers residents' health and safety. This case sets a precedent for other landlords to maintain higher standards to avoid similar legal repercussions.
