Former NYCHA Superintendent Corey Gilmore, 47, of West Haverstraw, New York, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for soliciting and accepting approximately $32,000 in bribes from contractors in exchange for awarding repair contracts or approving repair work worth at least approximately $215,000.
Gilmore was convicted of bribery and extortion under color of official right after a one-week trial presided over by U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman.
According to the Indictment, public court filings, statements made in court, and evidence presented during trial, Corey Gilmore abused his position at NYCHA to demand bribes from contractors for his personal gain.
The women and men of this Office are committed to pursuing those who abuse the public’s trust, said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.
Corey Gilmore demanded and accepted cash in exchange for NYCHA contracts. He required contractors to pay bribes in order to be awarded the contracts.
Of the 70 individual NYCHA employees charged with bribery and extortion offenses who were arrested in February 2024, 63 have pled guilty, and three have been convicted after trial.
Corey Gilmore was sentenced to two years of supervised release and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $32,000 and forfeit $32,000.
