Syracuse, N.Y. The company that owns the Skyline Complex on James Street will have to pay a $3,700 judgment for failing to fix an elevator at the 365-apartment building.
State Supreme Court Judge James Murphy ruled that Green National must pay $100 per day for each of the 37 days the elevator has remained unfixed since the city took the company to court for open code violations. Green National is the firm of former NFL star Tim Green and his son, Troy Green.

Syracuse, N.Y. City code inspectors have been at the Skyline Apartment building every day for the last three weeks.
They’ve found ongoing violations and a sluggish pace on promised repairs, despite a crush of attention and enforcement meant to compel the owners to clean the place up.
Code Enforcement Director Jake DiShaw said the elevators still aren’t all working, contrary to assurances from owners that they would be fixed. And there are still 18 unresolved code violations at the building.
