After eight years, the NYPD will finally erase a dead man’s arrest warrants — so it will no longer send cops to his beleaguered family’s Brooklyn apartment searching for him.
Relatives of James Jordan Sr. sued the NYPD in Brooklyn federal court after they resorted to taping his death certificate to their front door due to cops repeatedly showing up and demanding to see the deceased man, the family said, adding that officers routinely ransacked their home.
NYPD officials indicated that Jordan — a security guard who died from diabetes — had outstanding warrants for undisclosed offenses at the time of his death but that they would be cleared from the system.
“Although the matter is under internal review, the four warrants were immediately vacated from the NYPD’s system,” spokeswoman Kim Royster said Tuesday.
Family attorney Ugo Uzoh told The Post on Tuesday that he’s pleased by the department’s action — but will still pursue the lawsuit against it.
