New York Condo Group Settling with Attorney for $230K over Employee Pay

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a settlement of nearly $230,000 with a contracting agency and the board of managers of a New York City condominium building for failing to pay workers in the building the prevailing wage required by New York law.

From 2016 to 2019, Allied Universal Security Services underpaid the security guards it was contracted to provide at 540 West 28th St. Condominium in Chelsea, depriving some workers of almost $30,000 each in pay, James’ office charges.

As a result of a joint investigation by the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the New York City Comptroller, Allied Universal will pay nearly $230,000 in restitution to OAG, which will be distributed entirely to the seven affected employees.
