Schwartz works as a computer analyst for the city Department of Design and Construction, where he heads the agency’s “Build It Back” Hurricane Sandy recovery and resiliency program, according to his online biography.
Detectives from the NYPD Computer Crimes division began investigating him about two months ago, officials said.
