Syracuse, N.Y. The parent company that owns the Skyline Apartments raked in at least $3.5 million in taxpayer money last year, even while tenants, code inspectors and housing officials have complained about the unsafe and unclean condition of their buildings.
Across 10 buildings in Syracuse and one in DeWitt, Green National owned by Tim and Troy Green collected millions of dollars in federal subsidies paid to low-income tenants and people who were formerly homeless or are recovering from drug or mental health problems.

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.

A Common Council committee unanimously endorsed a $720,000 city-financing plan Tuesday to advance an affordable, senior housing development on Milwaukee’s South Side.
The city would effectively provide a property tax rebate via a developer-financed tax incremental financing (TIF) district to support the redevelopment of the St. Joseph Center, formerly a convent, into 63 units of affordable housing known as Chapel Gardens.
The School Sisters of St. Francis and General Capital Group are partnering on the project, the second they’ve undertaken to transform the sisters’ underutilized campus at S. Layton Blvd. and W. Greenfield Ave.
