Mark Peters and Lesley Brovner have decades of experience working in compliance and enforcement as well as in conducting investigations. From 2014 through 2018 they served as Commissioner and First Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Investigation, New York City’s Inspector General. At DOI, they had jurisdiction to investigate every New York City agency, officer, elected official or employee of the City, as well as those who do business with or receive benefits from the City. In their time at DOI Peters & Brovner investigated hundreds of regulatory matters, many of which resulted in prosecution. They also issued over 50 reports into City agencies and authorities, including the NYPD, Department of Buildings (DOB), and New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) and were responsible for creating compliance plans for City agencies that included preventive controls and operational reforms to improve the way the City runs.
