New York Attorney General Letitia James and New York City Comptroller Brad Lander have announced a significant settlement totaling almost $230,000 with a contracting agency and the Board of Managers of a New York City condominium building for violating labor laws by failing to pay workers the prevailing wage required by New York law.
The settlement stems from a joint investigation conducted by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) and the Office of the New York City Comptroller, which revealed that Allied Universal Security Services (Allied Universal) underpaid security guards it was contracted to provide at the 540 West 28th Street Condominium in Chelsea from 2016 to 2019. The underpayment resulted in some workers being deprived of almost $30,000 each in fair pay. “Every New Yorker deserves to be compensated fairly and fully for their hard work,” said Attorney General Jame
