NEW YORK CITY—According to a consent decree signed on Wednesday, landlord Steven Croman has agreed to pay $8 million to tenants, and allow an independent management company with which he has no ties to manage over 100 of his residential properties. The settlement with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman also requires that a monitor oversee Croman’s compliance with the settlement, providing quarterly reports to Schneiderman’s office for seven years.
