Use of "neither"

Hi!

Am I using "neither" correctly?

The Directorate confirms than none of the persons in the apartment have any health issues, and neither they have any criminal or administrative convictions.

Thank you!

I would write The Directorate confirms than none of the persons in the apartment have any health issues, nor do they have any criminal or administrative convictions.

I must admit I hadn't heard of "administrative convictions" before!

Edit: cross-posted with Blue Jay.

I think it is all right to retain "neither" in the OP's sentence.

I have not heard of "administrative convictions" either.

Yes, but with a semi-colon or "and".

... health issues; neither do they ...
... health issues, and neither do they ...
