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.

Some Hackney residents like forager and legend Jonathan Cook, more commonly known as John The Poacher, took advantage of the recent lifting of some Covid restrictions by visiting a local pub.
John, who lives near Springfield Gardens in Upper Clapton and has lived in Hackney for 38 years, said: “I thought I would drop in and have a pint at [Hackney Tap]. It’s nice to have a pint that’s on draught rather than having to have it out of bottles or cans.”
Jonathan Cook, known as John The Poacher, stopped by the newly opened Hackney Top to have a pint.

Syracuse, N.Y. Even the mail carrier won’t go to the Vincent Apartments.
It’s just not safe there, the U.S. Postal Service says. There’s no lighting in the mailroom. People often sleep there. Its floor is sometimes splashed with human feces. Thieves steal the mail.
The Vincent is one of 11 Central New York housing complexes owned by Green National, the real estate firm of prominent former football player Tim Green and his son, Troy Green.
The company has found itself in the crosshairs of Syracuse City Hall, police and county housing officials recently for the worsening conditions at the Skyline Apartment complex, where an elderly woman was found murdered in her apartment.
