New York Attorney General Letitia James and Syracuse Mayor Sharon Owens today sued the owners and managers of Nob Hill Apartments (Nob Hill) for years of persistent health and safety issues, tenants’ rights violations, and illegal business practices. Since 2019 to 2026, Nob Hill has been cited 413 times for city and state code violations, 69 of which are unresolved as of June 2026. 

“The deadly fire at Nob Hill Apartments was a shameful, preventable tragedy. New Yorkers should never pay the price for their landlord’s negligence, and residents of Nob Hill have suffered too long in unacceptable conditions. I am grateful to Mayor Owens for her partnership in our fight to get justice for every tenant.” – AG James
