https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kushner-cos-unpaid-nyc-fines-500k-and-counting/City figures compiled for The Associated Press by a tenant watchdog group show that most of the fines $350,000 stretched over the past five years. And just last month the company was fined $210,000 for filing false construction documents.
The hundreds of violations in dozens of its buildings ranged from the seemingly minor "loose rubbish" to the serious, such as not getting permits for electrical work or failing to notify authorities of work that could disturb asbestos. Most of the fines were for a few hundred dollars apiece. But in many cases the company failed to show up for required court hearings, triggering additional penalty fines atop interest payments that allowed the bill to grow.
"This is a company that will cut corners at any cost, even if it comes at the expense of its residents and the rule of law," said Aaron Carr, executive director of Housing Rights Initiative, which compiled the data.

CAN versus WILL...that's another story. All depends on who makes the decision and if they have a reason not to do it.
Kushner, his business, and the Trumps have no credibility in anything they say.
