DocGo, a medical testing company which Mayor Eric Adams’ administration gave a $432 million contract for migrant service s, allegedly wasted millions of dollars

Specifically, the comptroller’s office found that HPD paid for nearly 10,000 unused hotel rooms, over which DocGo raked in $408,680 in commissions; shelled out more than ​​$2 million for security services over what was authorized in the contract; and did not approve a single subcontractor hired by DocGo.

The comptroller’s office is calling on the city to recoup $11 million, of the $13.8 million it paid DocGo over the two-month period that it reviewed, which it says were not properly supported. However, Lander noted that the administration has indicated it does not intend to recoup the money.
