Bart Schwartz blamed many of the problems on the agency's top managers, saying they failed to find better ways to use resources.
NEW YORK -- The independent federal monitor who oversees New York City's Housing Authority has issued his final report.Bart Schwartz was appointed monitor in 2019 after federal investigators found NYCHA management had covered up and lied about squalid living conditions in many of its apartments. In the report, Schwartz blamed many of the problems on the agency's top managers, saying they failed to find better ways to use resources.
'Even if NYCHA were to immediately receive the $78 billion it says it needs to make necessary capital repairs, it would take years for these repairs to even begin, let alone be completed. Funding is not the worst of NYCHA's problems, It is the lack of effective governance, ethics and accountability that prevents NYCHA from achieving comprehensive, sustainable improvements within its current financial restraints.
