Stringer Audit: NY Sandy relief program paid $6.8 million for flawed work
New York City’s comptroller says a program that was supposed rebuild homes wrecked by Superstorm Sandy paid $6.8 million to contractors for work that was “flawed or incomplete.”
The audit released Tuesday of the city’s Build-It-Back program examined how it helped New Yorkers between June 1, 2013 and Aug. 1, 2014.
The much-maligned program was launched by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg in the wake of the 2012 storm to help repair, rebuild and elevate homes.
