From Capital Tonight:Sen. Jeff Klein, D-Bronx, today charged that banks are ignoring a 2009 law governing foreclosed properties that have fallen into disrepair.
Klein, a member of the Independent Democratic Conference, said his office discovered 2,000 foreclosed properties across New York City that have 3,751 open violations.
The lawmaker looked into the issue after a 12-year-old boy and his parents died in a fire at 2321 Prospect Ave. The property had multiple standing code violations, including faulty wiring and a broken boiler.
Klein said it was up to the banks to make sure the foreclosed properties remain safe.

Of course there are violations on Bank owned properties and the city should go after them or place liens based on a certain level of fines to correct the situation.
Dream on.
The money, instead of enforcement, will be used for ferries on the river to empty buildings in Queens and Brooklyn.
Then we can say, as they say about the Steinway Mansion, 'we have no money.'
The houses are in foreclosure because the Democratic Party led by then Clinton Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo promoted home ownership to those who had no business being homeowners. The banks went along with this stupidity because they feared being sued for discrimination by the government. Now Democratic Party idiot Klein wants the banks to clean up the mess that his party created?
The banks are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
This is what happens when you have a broke ass government telling the banks they can do WHATEVER THEY WANT to help themselves.
Interest payouts suck wind
Try cashing out 2 useless $25,000 CD for green cash (100 dollar bills) from a bank (to buy and take possession of .999 gold)
--you cant.
Most banks will make up some BS $5000 withdrawal limits on cash.
You need to put up a hellova fight and the police & and several golf putting bank managers being called in to get your cash.
Separated at birth? 2 beady-eyed lunatics.
George is dead on.
It was referred to Clinton and Cuomo's. "Chicken in every pot" idea. They practically forced the banks at gunpoint to 'loan it out"
The banks and automobile industry had dirty hands in it as well. Bank managers and financing company's got greedy simply gave out out millions of liar loans to get the instant commissions.
Yep, you had a bums and people working McDonalds buying brand new cars.
They are now handing the banks the keys and walking away.
It's a good thing the Rupublicans are running things now, everything will be straightened out.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
democrats and republicans in NY STATE(you morons will never get it). It is the LIBERALS running everything in your shitty socialist state. Good Luck with all that
is this guy as stupid as whe looks ? i mean, the russel crowe haircut went out of style 10 years ago. the artifical tan thing was like 20 years ago.
Jeffrey Klein was engaged to Alan Hevesi's daughter, until Hevesi was out of the running for Mayor, then she mysteriously left the country after they broke up.
Now he is "with" Diane Savino, since he needed her to do his coup in the Senate.
I wonder if he has "consumated" that relationship or has been a little "high handed" as maybe in the past.
He will dump Savino the same way he did with Laura Hevesi. The question is whether he ever gets around to ever "consumating" the relationship before he might "lift his hands". Savino should ask around about this nut. but maybe she is so desperate that her only option is this guy.
i guess im not the only one to hear about Jeff's performance issues with the ladies. that temper of his i guess comes from somewhere. i mean cmon, we passed gay marriage, everyone come out, come out, come out ......
A real momma's boy. His mother Marilyn was the treasurer of his campaign for years. He was married while he was an aide for Queens Congressman Jim "the Letch" Scheuer and that nutjob's neurosis wore off on him. Jeff Klein: a walking definition of the term "narcissist". Don't mess up his $1000 suits and custom made shirts. The guy in his mirror won't like it.
