New York City Housing Authority

Prosecutors said Tuesday they secured the 70th and final conviction in a decade-long corruption scheme in which New York City Housing Authority employees took bribes to steer no-bid repair work, following what DOJ called the largest single-day bribery takedown in its history in Feb. 2024. U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton and NYC Department of Investigation Commissioner Jocelyn E. Strauber said workers collected over $2.1 million in bribes tied to $15 million in contracts, with most defendants pleading guilty and three convicted at trial.
