JERSEY CITY –Stanley Parzych, 62, of Jersey City, New Jersey, pleaded guilty on June 30 to one count of conspiring with agents of a local government agency to obtain by fraud funds provided by Union City, causing losses of at least $40,000, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman said.
Parzych entered his guilty plea before U.S. District Judge William H. Walls in Newark federal court.
Between June 2007 and November 2010, Parzych owned American Construction, a company located in Jersey City. Fishman said Parzych allegedly conspired with a Union City contractor and an unnamed inspector connected at the Union City Community Development Agency (UCCDA) to rig the competitive process to perform sidewalk replacement projects and residential rehabilitation projects in favor of certain contractors by submitting false and materially misleading proposals.
The conspiracy charge to which Parzych pleaded guilty carries a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Parzych is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 7, 2015.
