8 million – were undocumented and shouldn't have been paid,a $2 million overpayment by DocGo for security subcontractors,and 80% of the 189 hotel rooms visited by auditors had deficiencies ranging from no microwaves and refrigerators to bad food to roaches, bed bugs and rats.'It really is atrocious mismanagement,' Lander said.New Yorkers can probably expect more audits like this: Lander recently announced he's running for mayor and will face Adams in a primary.
