According to the report, some of the worst-maintained properties were found in Borough Park, Brooklyn, near tracks for the D and M trains, where investigators photographed rusty air conditioners leaning against a cracked retaining wall plastered with graffiti.
The report, to be released by the Council’s Policy and Investigations Division, calls the authority a “a bad neighbor” that would have already been punished for violating city health codes were it not a public agency.
