Kushner Cos. has been hit with $210,000 in fines by New York City regulators for filing false real estate paperwork over several years.

President Trump’s son-in-law — and current adviser — Jared Kushner was still at the helm of the real estate company as CEO when, the New York City Department of Buildings says, the company routinely falsified construction applications at 17 sites.

The city’s Building Department found the company frequently under-reported — and in some cases didn’t report any — rent-regulated tenants living in its buildings, despite renting to hundreds of them.
