Saltz Mongeluzzi Class Action

Attorney Patrick Howard told the judge “I really think we have excellent relief for the class” of plaintiffs.

Under settlement, the city agreed to pay $2.5 million to refund about 70% of the penalties, fees and interest to residents who paid delinquent refuse accounts between Sept. 12, 2016, and Dec. 31, 2020.

The city also agreed to forgive $7.5 million in penalties, interest and costs tacked on to municipal liens filed against property owners who did not pay delinquencies that accrued between Sept. 12, 2012, and Dec. 31, 2020.
