From cracked plaster, to mold, to not having any heat, tenants said something needs to be done now.
'We have a lot of leaks in our building, because the pipes are old and the water just trickles down," said Terry Campuzano.Tenants were joined by some city and state leaders who are calling for immediate changes.
"They put in ticket after ticket and nothing happens or someone will show up to the apartment, maybe take a couple pictures and there are no repairs to follow," said Councilmember Carlina Rivera. " So it is really smoke and mirrors." Rivera said more than 70,000 apartments are in need of multiple repairs and many tenants are waiting months.
"Nothing is being fixed, so they're closing tickets without fixing anything," said Riis tenant Daphne Williams. Rivera said they want three things form the city: repairs made in a timely fashion, for the city to bundle together some of the maintenance work so they can get repairs done on a larger scale, and to test the water regularly."Since 2019, NYCHA has fundamentally transformed its business model, compliance, operations and management infrastructure.
