"Udeh, as an assistant chief plan examiner, allegedly engaged in a bribery conspiracy involving more than 300 construction projects in all five boroughs from 2021 to 2025."
"This type of bribery scheme undermines fair play in the open market in all those companies abiding by the rules."
"UDEH typically coordinated the payments through text messages many of them including specific projects and payment amounts and met his co-defendants in person to receive cash."
Jake Udeh, a former supervisor at the NYC Department of Buildings, was indicted for accepting bribes exceeding $75,000. He faces multiple charges, including second-degree bribery and conspiracy. Udeh approved over 300 construction projects without proper scrutiny in exchange for cash and travel perks from construction company owners. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg emphasized the broader market impact of such bribery schemes, which undermine fair competition and the integrity of the Department of Buildings. Udeh coordinated payments through text messages and met co-defendants in person to receive cash.
