The construction company, which has been accused in a penalty scheme, wants the New York police to outperform more than $ 5.3 million to work at the police headquarters – although its contract has been rejected due to corruption concerns.
MDB Development Corporation claims a new lawsuit stating that police officials continued to expand the 2022 contract to inspect the collapsed interface in one police square, NYPD's brutal headquarters, with the promise that the next contract for actual reform was a major matter.
But years later, this next contract – partly because the city's observer office rejected the emergency purchasing request in the past fall, pointing to a criminal indictment of 2023 accusing a $ 50,000 kick programs company at an unrelated workplace.
However, NYPD MDB officials ordered to continue to keep the building scales, and even request for brick work for the contract that it receives, all of which cost the company at least $ 5.37 million, according to the court papers obtained by the publication.
The city and NYPD refused to pay the balances due for both contracting work and additional work – most notably, the continuous rental fees for the fall of scaffolding and the pavement dam (“” scaffolding “), which NYPD continues to use,” says the lawsuit.
“The indictment does not mean that you do not receive their salaries,” said Brian Gardner. “You can not only pay for the previous work because of these reasons.”
A spokesman for the city's Ministry of Law said that the office is investigating the claims.
In 2021, NYPD officials requested an emergency contract to examine the reform facades at 1PP after the bricks fell and other debris on the ground a year ago.
The emergency contract, which is valued at $ 5 million, was granted to MDB, but only for the inspection stage, according to a letter sent in the past fall from the financial observer office obtained through public records.
NYPD requested the same approval to the extension to the reform stage – but it was rejected several times by the financial observer office, according to Charlet Hamjamian, deputy financial observer observer.
The letter – which Daily News reported for the first time – raised the administration to continue to work with MDB without a suitable contract and without guarantees a seller after the MDB criminal indictment and its owner Michael Delas.
“Because of the insufficient supervision by NYPD, the MDB has already conducted a asbestos test, tested windows, and additional additional protection under the emergency contract without first obtaining prior approval from this office,” Hamjian wrote.
All the time, NYPD MDB ordered the request of $ 18,8268 of allocated brick work, “” BRICK had several months of progress time, and NYPD stated that they did not want to delay the work of the second stage, “as the case claims.
This is in addition to maintaining extensive scaffolding outside the Pakistani People's Party in its place since 2022, which MDB said the cost of more than $ 200,000 per month.
“There is no justification or excuse at all because the lack of payment in the New York Police to MDB to work, equipment and materials submitted to the project at the request and direction of the New York Police, including MDB scores that remain on the site serves the critical public safety function so far,” says the lawsuit.
New York Police said that MDB has not performed work since November 2022 and that the scaffolding is all the remainder.
In January, Debelas and MDB acknowledged that he was guilty of misdemeanors regarding the start scheme, and paid a confiscation of $ 50,000, in addition to employing integrity monitoring for one year, according to the Manhattan da office.
