The Cotocon Group Urges NYC Building Owners to Resolve Failure-to-File Violations as 2026 Notices Are Issued

Published

on

NEW YORK, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Cotocon Group, a New York City building compliance and sustainability consulting firm, is urging property owners, boards, and management companies to review and resolve outstanding failure-to-file violations following the issuance of 2026 violations tied to Article 321, Article 320, and annual benchmarking requirements.

The advisory comes as New York City building owners are already seeing failure-to-file violations issued this year across multiple compliance categories, including Article 321 prescriptive compliance, Article 320 greenhouse gas emissions reporting, and Local Law 84 benchmarking. While many owners may initially view these violations as administrative issues, unresolved filings can lead to accumulating penalties, delayed compliance acceptance, and greater uncertainty around a building’s long-term regulatory position.

“Failure-to-file violations are often treated like paperwork problems, but they can quickly become asset problems,” said Jimmy Carchietta, Founder and CEO of The Cotocon Group. “When a building has missed filings, open penalties, or an unclear compliance status, owners need to understand what happened, what is due, and what needs to be corrected before the issue grows.”

New York City’s building performance laws have become increasingly interconnected. Annual benchmarking data can influence a building’s broader compliance picture. Article 320 requires covered buildings to report greenhouse gas emissions. Article 321 applies to certain buildings that may qualify for prescriptive compliance requirements. When one filing is missed, it can create confusion across emissions reporting, violation resolution, future deadlines, and ownership decision-making.

The Cotocon Group is advising building stakeholders to conduct a compliance review that identifies open violations, missed filing years, penalty exposure, upcoming deadlines, and the correct pathway for resolving each issue. This is especially important for owners and property managers overseeing multiple buildings, where one overlooked property can create avoidable fines and administrative delays.

Through its failure-to-file violation review process, The Cotocon Group helps owners and managers determine whether a building has outstanding obligations under Local Law 84 benchmarking, Local Law 87 energy audits and retro-commissioning, Local Law 88 lighting and sub-metering, Local Law 95 energy grades, Local Law 97 emissions reporting, or applicable Article 320 and Article 321 requirements.

The firm’s goal is to help owners move from uncertainty to a clear action plan. This includes identifying what filings are missing, what penalties may apply, what documentation is required, and what steps are needed to restore the building’s compliance position.

“Most owners do not want to be non-compliant,” added Carchietta. “In many cases, they simply were not aware that a filing was missed, that a violation was issued, or that a prior consultant never completed the process. Our role is to give them clarity and help get the problem out of their life.”

The Cotocon Group encourages building owners, property managers, co-op and condo boards, and facility teams to review their compliance records now, especially if they have received a 2026 failure-to-file violation related to Article 321, Article 320, or benchmarking.

Quantifind Announces $200 Million Growth Investment Led by Summit Partners to Advance AI-native Risk Intelligence and Governed Agentic Middleware for Modern Risk Operations

Published

on

By

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Quantifind, the leader in AI-native Risk Intelligence for modern financial crime and national security operations, today announced a $200 million growth investment led by Summit Partners, with participation from existing investors Citi Ventures, S&P Global, Deloitte, and Stephens Group.

As financial crime networks become more sophisticated and operate at increasing speed and scale, financial institutions and government agencies face growing challenges in detecting illicit activity across massive volumes of data while meeting increasingly complex regulatory expectations. Legacy AML, KYC, sanctions screening, and investigative systems can generate excessive false positives, creating operational bottlenecks that slow investigations, create friction for good actors, and divert resources from higher-risk threats.

Quantifind’s Graphyte™ AI-native Risk Intelligence platform is designed to transform financial crime prevention by combining internal and external data with purpose-built language models that power an agentic middleware for entity resolution and risk discovery. Today, Quantifind serves a global customer base, including six of the world’s top 10 Tier 1 financial institutions. Its platform supports tens of thousands of financial crime, compliance and national security professionals.

Operationalizing Graphyte’s Trusted Risk Intelligence for External Agents

As financial institutions and government agencies deploy agentic AI, they face a new challenge: turning AI agents from assistants into trusted operators within risk workflows — a leap that no AI agents can make without trusted intelligence, enterprise controls, and governance. Graphyte Agentic Middleware represents a new generation of agentic AI systems for financial crime detection and response. Designed to help AI agents execute complex workflows across risk operations, it is a critical orchestration layer that helps agents to ground decisions in accurate, explainable, and auditable data.

By aggregating internal, third-party, and open-source data and applying AI entity resolution and relationship intelligence, Graphyte Agentic Middleware enables AI agents to accelerate investigations, uncover hidden networks, and support high-confidence decisions at enterprise scale, all while preserving regulatory compliance, governance, and human oversight.

“Modern financial crime operations require accuracy, speed, scale, and explainability simultaneously — there is no acceptable tradeoff among them in regulated environments,” said Ari Tuchman, CEO and co-founder of Quantifind. “As AI transforms risk operations, success will depend on governed AI systems grounded in trusted intelligence and human oversight. Quantifind continues to be the trusted choice for these AI risk applications.”

Accelerating Global Growth and Customer Impact

Quantifind has generated rapid, profitable growth and has demonstrated an ability to deliver measurable operational and economic impact at enterprise scale. An independent Celent economic analysis estimated that Tier 1 banks deploying Quantifind’s Graphyte™ AI-native Risk Intelligence platform across KYC and sanctions screening alone could reduce annual alert-processing costs by up to $177.9 million, driven by substantially lower false positives and higher-confidence risk decisions.

This growth investment will accelerate Quantifind’s international expansion across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas, strengthening regional partnerships, advancing regulatory alignment, and extending localized risk intelligence capabilities to help multinational financial institutions and government agencies combat increasingly sophisticated financial crime and adapt to evolving global regulatory requirements.

“Quantifind has established itself as a leader in AI-native Risk Intelligence, a category rapidly becoming fundamental for financial institutions and government agencies,” said Chris Dean, Managing Director at Summit Partners, who has joined the Quantifind Board of Directors. “The Quantifind platform is designed to combine high-precision intelligence, explainability, and enterprise-grade scalability to help financial institutions, fintechs, and marketplaces detect and prevent financial crime with precision and speed. We are excited to partner with Ari and the team as they work to extend their global reach and continue advancing trusted AI infrastructure for regulated risk environments.”

“The financial crime landscape has fundamentally changed. Global institutions face an unprecedented challenge: managing increasingly sophisticated threats across expanding volumes of data, transactions and interconnected entities. Quantifind has built a differentiated AI-native risk intelligence platform designed to bring greater accuracy, speed and scale to these mission-critical operations. We are excited to continue supporting the company as it accelerates its global growth and category leadership,” said Vibhor Rastogi, Managing Director at Citi Ventures.

About Quantifind

Quantifind is the leader in AI-native Risk Intelligence for modern risk operations. We deliver purpose-built solutions that transform how financial institutions and government agencies detect, assess, and mitigate financial crime and national security threats — including the complex networks that enable illicit finance, corruption, sanctions evasion, trafficking, and terrorism.

The Graphyte™ AI-native Risk Intelligence Platform unifies internal, third-party, and open-source data into a single, high-accuracy risk intelligence system powered by advanced entity resolution, Name Science™, dynamic risk typologies, and real-time network graph intelligence.

Finance and AI Executive Patrick Fleury to Join Corvex Board of Directors as Company Scales AI Cloud Infrastructure Platform and Prepares to Launch Token Factory

TeraWulf CFO brings deep expertise across data center transactions, energy-advantaged digital infrastructure campuses, and large-scale capital formation

ARLINGTON, Va., June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Corvex, Inc. (Nasdaq:MOVE), an engineering-led AI computing platform specializing in GPU-accelerated infrastructure for AI workloads, today announced the appointment of Patrick A. Fleury to its Board of Directors, upon election at the Company’s upcoming annual meeting.

Fleury currently serves as Chief Financial Officer of TeraWulf Inc. (Nasdaq:WULF), a publicly traded developer, owner and operator of environmentally sustainable, industrial-scale data center infrastructure for AI and high-performance computing.

Fleury will join Corvex at a pivotal moment following its recent public listing, as the Company scales its AI infrastructure platform and prepares to launch its token factory business. Corvex’s model, combining contracted demand, flexible access to power, proprietary software to optimize workload performance and security, and disciplined capital formation, requires deep expertise across infrastructure development, capital markets, and governance. Fleury brings direct experience across each of these areas, having helped lead a similar transition at TeraWulf.

Since joining TeraWulf in 2022, shortly after that company’s own reverse-merger debut, Fleury has led over $8 billion dollars of financings to support the company’s data center infrastructure build-out and its expansion into AI and high-performance computing hosting. His experience scaling a power-focused, newly public compute platform directly parallels Corvex’s current phase of growth, where aligning infrastructure deployment with customer demand and capital availability is critical.

Fleury has more than 25 years of experience across capital markets, credit investing, and corporate finance. Prior to TeraWulf, he was a founding member of the credit investing team at Platinum Equity and a Managing Director at Blackstone’s GSO Capital Partners (now Blackstone Credit), where he focused on energy and infrastructure credit. He began his career in the Global Energy & Power investment banking group at Bank of America Securities and has held senior roles at Jefferies and Satellite Asset Management. He has also served as a director of CVR Partners LP and as a board observer at Rentech, Inc., bringing public company governance experience through complex strategic transactions.

“Corvex sits at the intersection of AI compute, power infrastructure, and capital, and Patrick has spent his career structuring and scaling exactly these systems,” said Jay Crystal, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Corvex. “He brings a rare combination of experience across data center transactions—from powered land acquisition through structured leases—as well as deep capital markets expertise at scale. As we expand our AI infrastructure platform and continue to invest in our proprietary software capabilities, his perspective will be invaluable in helping guide disciplined, capital-efficient growth.”

“The next phase of AI infrastructure will be defined by platforms that can deliver both performance and trust at scale,” said Fleury. “Corvex has built a differentiated model that combines flexible access to power, long-term customer alignment, and a software-driven approach to optimizing workload performance and enabling secure compute through confidential computing. Paired with a disciplined approach to capital formation across both corporate and project-level structures, this model positions Corvex to scale efficiently while maintaining control over execution.”

Fleury holds a B.A., magna cum laude, in Economics and Government and Legal Studies from Bowdoin College. He will serve as an independent director and will join the Audit Committee.

Corvex is an AI cloud computing company specializing in GPU-accelerated infrastructure for AI workloads.

Embedded directly in isolved People Cloud, Remote’s Employer of Record will enable international expansion by eliminating the complexity that slows growth

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Remote, the global payroll and employment infrastructure company, today announced its partnership with isolved®, a provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions that help organizations recruit, retain and elevate their workforce. Through this partnership, isolved will launch an Employer of Record offering, powered by Remote directly within isolved People Cloud™. This will enable its network of 200,000+ customers to hire, manage, and pay international employees without local entity setup, manual compliance work, or fragmentation across multiple systems.

Businesses expanding across borders often must juggle fragmented data and disconnected workflows across multiple systems to hire and pay their international teams. This can create bottlenecks that slow hiring, increase operational overhead, and drain resources. As organizations increasingly compete for global talent, the ability to hire and scale internationally has become critical to growth, yet the operational reality of international employment remains unnecessarily complex.

Through this partnership, isolved customers can hire and pay international employees directly from their HCM platform. Remote handles the operational complexity – entity setup, ongoing compliance management, local regulations, and payroll – eliminating the need to switch systems or manage legal requirements across jurisdictions. This means companies can respond to global market opportunities without the operational friction that usually slows international expansion.

“Global business expansion demands a choice most companies should not have to make: keep their trusted HR platform or gain world-class compliance and hiring infrastructure,” said Pim Altena, General Manager, Remote Embedded and Vice President, Technology Partnerships at Remote. “We’re excited to partner with isolved as together, we’re eliminating that choice. isolved customers can now get both: employment infrastructure embedded directly in their platform, delivering global hiring and compliance without switching, compromise, or complexity.”

“Our customers want to expand globally, but the operational reality of doing so has held them back. Our partnership with Remote solves that,” said Barry Gauch, Executive Vice President of Marketplace and Benefits of isolved. “Upon completion of the integration later this year this will be bringing Remote’s Employer of Record directly into isolved People Cloud, we’re removing the technical and compliance barriers that have made international hiring unnecessarily difficult. It’s about giving our customers the tools to execute their growth plans.”
