An audit report was filed on June 30, 2008 on the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) Vacant Lot Clean-up Program. The audit determined whether DSNY adequately responded to complaints and work orders regarding unclean vacant lots. It was determined that the DSNY Vacant Lot Clean-up Program had inadequate internal controls over the way it identified vacant lots for cleaning, processed complains and work orders on vacant lots, and managed the cleaning of the lots. There were issues regarding segregation of duties and lack of proper supervision, as well as tracking of aging cases. Other technical issues contributed to a longer response and thus a build-up of old cases. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
