New York City Reduces Code Violations at Homeless Shelters

The city has cut the number of code violations in its traditional homeless shelters by 44%, Mayor de Blasio said Wednesday.

But privately-owned “cluster” sites, which the city is trying to get rid of, continue to be in tough shape.

At non-cluster shelters, the number of violations was cut from over 10,000 at the end of January to 5,800 at the end of March, after launching a repair squad and scorecard to tackle troubles at decrepit shelters.
