Is it true that housing code violations in Syracuse NY are not dischargeable in bankruptcy?

Additional Details:
I no longer own the property with the outstanding housing judgements.
Legal Topic Area: Bankruptcy in PA

That depends on the specifics and which chapter of bankruptcy you are talking about. Fines or penalties payable to a governmental unit (which I assume is what you are referring to) are not dischargeable in Chapter 7 or 11, but may be dischargeable in Chapter 13.
