- State Health Department Slow to Inspect Violations at Adult Care Facilities, Audit Finds
NEWS from the Office of the New York State Comptroller The state Department of Health (DOH) is not adequately overseeing adult care facilities, risking the health and safety of vulnerable residents, according to an audit released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. The audit found DOH at times failed to conduct timely inspections and often lacked documentation to show critical problems were corrected. “Adult care facilities across the state have a responsibility to protect residents and deliver quality care,” DiNapoli said. “Regular and routine inspections of these facilities, and correcting problems, ensure residents are not left in unsafe or unsanitary conditions. If the state Department of Health isn’t conducting timely inspections or following up to make sure violations are corrected, then vulnerable residents could be left at risk.” Adult care facilities are primarily home to the elderly who can no longer live independently, but do not require the care of a nursing home. These facilities provide housing, meals and personal care for individuals who need help with daily activities. All facilities must be licensed, and DOH is required to supervise them through regular inspections and complaint investigations. As of 2023, there were 534 adult care facilities operating in New York, serving 37,547 residents. The audit reviewed DOH’s oversight of these facilities from January 2018 to October 2024. Health and safety issues at facilities can include, but are not limited to, inadequate staffing, call bells not functioning, no clear emergency shelter plans or the presence of mold, mice or bed bugs. Delayed Inspections The audit found DOH failed to complete inspections within the required 12- to 18-month timeframe at 70% of the 30 sampled facilities, with some delayed by as much as five years. Three of the state’s four regional oversight offices had inspection backlogs – New York City, Long Island and Western New York – while Central New York had no backlog. Auditors conducted site visits at 20 of the sampled adult care facilities across the state and found a range of serious health and safety issues, including: Crumbling stairs and walkways; Dishwashers that didn’t reach safe temperatures; Refrigerators that weren’t cold enough; and A lack of regular fire drills. Auditors also found additional unresolved problems: Expired medication present four years after a prior citation; Staff still uncertified in basic first aid more than 13 months after being cited; and A half-empty vodka bottle in a medical room and marijuana paraphernalia in an administrator’s office. At one adult care facility that had not received a full inspection in nearly two years, auditors found issues that posed immediate risks to residents’ health and safety. DOH officials were notified and immediately performed a full inspection of the facility, resulting in a total of 54 violations and 12 findings. Violations Not Fixed DOH failed to document whether facilities corrected violations identified in prior inspections. Of the 89 violations reviewed in 30 inspection reports, auditors found no evidence DOH took corrective action. At 18 of 20 facilities visited, problems cited in earlier inspection reports were not fixed. In some cases, DOH inaccurately recorded partial inspections as full ones, causing further delays in oversight. Without proper follow-up, violations may continue for years and facilities may not be held accountable, risking patient safety. Complaints Mishandled DOH received 7,440 complaints and completed 6,498 complaint investigations from 2018 through 2023. Auditors found DOH failed to fully investigate some complaints or adequately document its investigations. In a sample of 130 complaints, 18% of allegations had no evidence they were investigated. This includes three complaints with 25 allegations that did not have evidence of any investigation at all. These complaints included allegations of poor care, such as residents confined to their rooms and waiting in hallways for long periods of time for assistance, a lack of resident supervision and dirty or poorly maintained facilities. Recommendations The audit recommends that DOH improve procedures to ensure timely inspections, follow-up on violations, complete and document complaint investigations and communicate findings promptly. It also calls on DOH to improve the accuracy of its data by regularly reviewing and updating information in its tracking systems and ensuring inspection records are complete and categorized correctly. These steps would help DOH better monitor facility compliance and identify delays in oversight. DOH should also address staffing shortages that have contributed to oversight delays. DOH acknowledged delays in inspections and correcting violations, citing staffing shortages and the COVID-19 pandemic as major challenges. Officials said they have increased hiring, improved tracking systems and created a quality assurance committee to strengthen oversight moving forward. DOH’s response is included in the audit.

- Construction Jobs in NYC Not Fully Recovered From Pandemic Amid Lower Demand for Nonresidential Projects
Federal Policy Choices On Support for Local Projects Could Disrupt the Sector’s Outlook July 10, 2025 Despite having the fourth-largest construction sector in the nation, New York state is one of five states that have not recovered from pandemic job losses in the construction sector and a full recovery may take some time as construction businesses in New York City continue to face a variety of challenges, including softer demand for office space, according to a report released today by State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. “Spending on residential construction has rebounded since the pandemic, but nonresidential construction spending, especially in New York City, remains below 2019 levels and could continue to lag in the near future,” DiNapoli said. “A number of factors, many of them out of the city’s control, will affect future growth in the construction sector. For example, federal policy on tariffs and immigration may impact construction costs and the labor pool. There are steps the city could take to facilitate growth, and where appropriate, encourage the development of infrastructure and buildings to foster local economic growth.” Construction employment in the greater New York City metropolitan region, which includes Long Island, the lower Hudson Valley and most of northern New Jersey, totaled 388,700 jobs in 2024, the highest of any metropolitan area in the nation and 4.4% of the national total. New York state’s construction employment remains 4% (16,300 jobs) below its pre-pandemic level, the second lowest recovery among all states. The state’s construction sector would have fully recovered if not for New York City, where construction employment in 2024 was 11.3% (18,200 jobs) lower than in 2019. The city’s 143,100 construction sector jobs last year accounted for 36.7% of the state’s total construction jobs, down from a record high of 39.7% in 2019. Excluding New York City, construction employment in the state exceeded its 2019 level by 0.8 percent (1,900 jobs) in 2024. According to the New York Building Congress (NYBC), nonresidential construction spending remains below pre-pandemic levels as market demands have changed due to hybrid work policies. Of the three categories of construction spending, nonresidential spending had the biggest decline (43%) in 2020. Despite three consecutive years of increases, by 2023, nonresidential construction was the only one still below 2019 spending, remaining 3.4% ($786 million) lower at $22.2 billion. Nonresidential spending was estimated to have fallen by 2.6% ($572 million) in 2024 as demand remains low. Residential construction spending fully recovered from the pandemic by 2023, exceeding its 2019 level by 17.6% ($3.4 billion) to reach $22.8 billion, reflecting the high demand for housing and rising inflation. The NYBC, however, estimated residential spending dropped by 16% in 2024, partly due to the expiration of the 421-a tax abatement program. Residential spending is expected to improve following the adoption of a replacement program, 485-x, in April 2024. The 467-m program for the conversion of non-residential buildings into residential buildings may also improve the outlook. After a drop at the outset of the pandemic, government spending on construction projects reached $23.3 billion in 2023, 18.1% higher than its 2019 level, and higher than both residential and nonresidential construction spending. The NYBC estimated that government spending increased in 2024 to a record high of $28.1 billion. In 2025 and 2026, the NYBC expects government spending will decline as planned government capital spending may be at risk if the federal government cuts support for local projects. Both the city and MTA have substantial capital commitment targets, but fiscal uncertainty could impact the timing of these projects. DiNapoli’s report notes that the composition of the labor force and recent immigration enforcement actions by the federal government have the potential to disrupt ongoing projects and the labor pool for the industry as a whole. In 2023, immigrants held 61% of the jobs in the construction sector in New York City, a much higher share than in the rest of the state and the nation. While the city plays an important role in spurring construction activity through capital spending, it also has a critical administrative and regulatory role through its Department of Buildings (DOB), which can impact the amount and pace of private construction activity. The number of DOB staff in these types of positions (i.e., project managers, plan examiners, inspectors and estimators) declined to 519 people in March 2024, from 662 in March 2021. As of March 2025, the number of staff in construction positions is over 21% below the March 2021 level, suggesting that building approvals may remain slower going forward. DiNapoli’s report found: Construction spending in the city reached a record high of $68.2 billion in 2023, partly due to rising costs, exceeding the pre-pandemic peak in 2019 by 10%. The number of construction businesses decreased by 3%, or 479 firms, in 2024, the first annual decline since 2011. In 2024, construction was the fifth (out of 10) highest-paying employment sector in New York City, with an average salary of $95,800. The city’s construction sector accounted for $28.1 billion in economic activity in 2023, 3% higher than 2019. When adjusted for inflation, the construction share of the gross city product declined from 2.5% in 2019 to 1.8% in 2023 as other sectors, such as the information and professional and business services industries, took on significantly larger roles over the period. Around one-fifth of the jobs in the construction sector in New York state (20.7%) and the New York City metropolitan area (19%) were held by union members in 2024. Both shares were down significantly from 10 years ago (31.3% and 27.4% in 2014, respectively). For the five boroughs, the majority of construction workers are union members. The number of construction permits declined in 2023 and 2024, indicating that a return to pre-pandemic growth trends (4.5% annual average) has not yet occurred.

- Mysterious Kayak Found Drifting in Erie Canal Sparks Major Search Operation in Rome NY
Rome, NY — July 17, 2025 — A mysterious discovery in the Erie Canal has sparked a multi-agency investigation and urgent public appeal for information. According to Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol, deputies were called to the area of South James Street and Muck Road in the City of Rome after a passerby reported spotting an unoccupied kayak floating in the canal. Upon arrival, deputies discovered a single-person orange kayak near the center of the waterway. Nearby, they also located a backpack and a pair of oars bearing the initials "E.W.H." Given the potential severity of the situation, the case was immediately handed over to the Sheriff's Criminal Investigation Unit and Forensic Identification Unit. The OCSO Marine Patrol and Dive Team were deployed to conduct a thorough search of the canal, but no person was found. Rome Fire Department also used drone-mounted spotlight and thermal imaging to assist in the search, which yielded no further clues. At this time, there is no confirmed missing person associated with the initials or items found. Authorities are urging anyone with information — especially if they know someone with the initials E.W.H. or who may have been kayaking in the area — to contact the Criminal Investigations Unit at 315-765-2226 . Agencies involved in the search include the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol, Dive Team, Rome Police Department, Rome Fire, and AmCare Ambulance.

- NY Police Release Body-Worn Camera Footage from Albany July 4th Response
The New York State Police today released body-worn camera footage from Troopers who responded to the volatile and dangerous events that unfolded on the night of July 4, 2025, following the fireworks display at the Empire State Plaza. The footage captures the swift and heroic actions of several State Troopers who responded to both a shooting and an active structure fire near Madison Avenue and Swan Street. At approximately 10:00 p.m., as Troopers were assisting with crowd disbursement along Madison Avenue, reports of shots fired were received in the area of 337 Madison Avenue. Responding Troopers and Investigators located a teenage male with a gunshot wound to the head and discovered a working fire on the first floor of 333 Madison Avenue. Members immediately initiated lifesaving efforts on the gunshot victim and began evacuating nearby residences threatened by fire and smoke. Troopers were joined on the scene by members of the Albany City Police Department, who provided critical support as the incident unfolded. Their quick response and coordination helped ensure the safety of residents and first responders in a rapidly evolving situation. The body-worn camera footage released today documents the courageous response of several New York State Troopers as they entered burning and smoke-filled structures to evacuate residents. Trooper Thomas Stiehler, SP Brunswick , is seen rushing into the structure at 333 Madison Avenue to evacuate residents. When the conditions inside became too dangerous, he exited and entered 335 Madison Avenue, a connected row house filling with smoke. There, he climbed multiple flights of stairs, located an elderly woman, and carried her to safety. He later re-entered the building with Trooper Zachary Deaprix, SP Capitol , to clear the remaining apartments. Trooper James McGill, SP Capitol , entered the apartment beneath the fire floor, assisting several occupants in evacuating. He methodically searched the entire unit to ensure no one was left behind. As he exited through the front of the structure, body-worn camera footage shows him navigating flaming debris falling from the windows above. Superintendent Steven G. James said, “The actions of these Troopers, and our partners from the Albany Police Department, reflect extraordinary courage and professionalism. Our members ran toward gunfire, into burning buildings, and did everything they could to save lives. This is what it means to serve the people of New York.” The investigation into the shooting and fire is being led by the Albany Police Department, the Albany Fire Department, and the Office of Fire Prevention and Control. The New York State Police is releasing this body-worn camera footage to demonstrate the exceptional response by our members and to promote transparency surrounding a significant public safety event.
