Poor follow through on developers

Conditions placed on developers by the city - such as building more parking spaces or planting more trees - are not always completed as intended because of vague requirements, procedural confusion and poor follow-through, according to an audit released Monday.Brandon Lowrey in the Daily News.

So many agencies are involved in the arduous planning process, City Controller Laura Chick said in an audit, that leadership and follow-through become lost.

"There are so many hands in the pie," Chick said. "No one's in charge anywhere along the way - not in creating the conditions, not in imposing the conditions, not in overseeing the conditions."
