Genesis Computer Consultants may have violated antitrust laws when it pulled out of talks with the city following threats by property lawyers to boycott its products, city Corporation Counsel Michael Cardozo told Monday's New York Post. Advertisement "The actions of these attorneys as reported to me constitute ... interference with business relations," Cardozo wrote in the letter. The software -- which many lawyers use to challenge property tax bills -- would provide city tax assessors with the same easy-to-access data on incomes and expenses of individual properties over the last 10 years. Neither Genesis nor the company's lawyer, Richard Horowitz, returned repeated phone calls.
