A 31-year-old woman was shot inside of the troubled Skyline Apartments on Sunday.

The victim, who is likely not a resident of the building, is expected to survive, according to police, who said the incident was part of an altercation involving several individuals.

Owned by Time and Troy Green’s real estate company Green National, the 364-unit building was the site of a gruesome homicide last April.

The city’s code enforcement performed random spot checks twice weekly from March of 2021 to October. Since then, the department conducted random spot checks twice a month. 

Mayor Ben Walsh said spot checks will now take place once a week following the incident.

“Initially, when we started, it’s no secret that we were frustrated with the efforts, or lack thereof, with the Green organization,” Syracuse Police Chief Kenton Buckner said. “They’ve since appeared to have gotten the message of what we expect from them, but by no means are we going to take our foot off the accelerator.”

Since March of last year, 79 code violations were issued, eleven of which remain open.

“We have felt from the beginning of our challenges with the Skyline that the prospects of shutting down the property do more harm to the tenants than good,” Walsh said.

With no plans of shutting down the building, the city is pursuing legal action against its owners, with two pending cases in the State Supreme Court.

Since issuing a nuisance abatement order last year, the building has been staffed with around-the-clock security, cameras in hallways, entrances and outside, along with a key-fob system to enter the building.

“While the current owners have certainly shown improvement over the last year, at this point, I think the best outcome is to have a new owner of that property,” said Walsh.

The mayor said there appears to be a pending sale of Skyline.

Police received 645 calls from the building between March of 2021 to January 2022.

Police staff an off-duty detail to the building four days a week with six-hour shifts. The detail was there before the Sunday shooting.

Paid by Green National, the security details had cost more than $80,000 from March 2021 to Jan. 8.
