, the Brooklyn construction company entangled in an FBI probe involving a top fundraiser for Mayor Eric Adams, has been a familiar presence in the city’s courtrooms over the years.
In 2016, KSK ignored invoices by engineering firm Thornton Tomasetti, Inc. for nearly $178,000 over consulting services on a repair job for a Prospect Heights property, even though the construction company raised no dispute over the outstanding fees, according to a 2018 Manhattan Supreme Court suit.The family of a construction worker sued KSK for negligence after he was fatally crushed by a crane’s counterweight at its job site in 2019.
In 2017, KSK attempted to weasel its way out of a Department of Buildings fine by suing then-Commish Rick Chandler in Manhattan Supreme Court, claiming it had been dinged $10,000 on top of an identical fine levied against its subcontractor over a failure to protect an adjoining balcony against fall protection, court record show.
KSK claimed it and the subcontractor had “been subjected to an excessive fine that is duplicative and exceeds any possible culpability,” according to court records.
