Business in the Burbs: Yonkers businesses face workers comp fines
Three Yonkers businesses are facing $43,000 in fines for not carrying workers compensation insurance. The New York State Workers’ Compensation Board said yesterday that Yonkers Auto Mall, Inc. at 1716 Central Park Ave., Yonkers Service Station at 1230 Nepperhan Ave. and Golden Yonkers Properties, Inc. at 365 S. Broadway violated state law by not carrying workers’ compensation insurance. Workers’ Compensation Board spokesman Brian M. Keegan said that his agency is working with Yonkers Auto Mall and it may rescind its $33,000 judgment. The board is also in discussion with Golden Yonkers Properties over its $6,000 judgment, as the company now has coverage. The board has not received a response from Yonkers Service Station, whose $4,000 judgment was filed March 31 in the state Supreme Court in White Plains.
