A New York contractor was unknowingly uninsured as it worked on 14 Manhattan projects over four years because its insurance broker was pocketing its payments, according to an indictment.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg says Scott Kirtland, a White Plains, NY insurance broker, allegedly stole nearly $350,000 in insurance premium payments from a client, Real Dependable Contracting Corp., a Brooklyn, N.Y., roofing and facade contractor. Kirtland is charged with grand larceny, scheme to defraud, offering a false instrument and falsifying business records.
