Not just the Skyline: While tenants suffer across Syracuse, the Greens have a bigger plan

Syracuse, N.Y. Even the mail carrier won’t go to the Vincent Apartments.
It’s just not safe there, the U.S. Postal Service says. There’s no lighting in the mailroom. People often sleep there. Its floor is sometimes splashed with human feces. Thieves steal the mail.
The Vincent is one of 11 Central New York housing complexes owned by Green National, the real estate firm of prominent former football player Tim Green and his son, Troy Green.
The company has found itself in the crosshairs of Syracuse City Hall, police and county housing officials recently for the worsening conditions at the Skyline Apartment complex, where an elderly woman was found murdered in her apartment.
