ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
It seems as if every other day we are faced to deal with yet another catastrophe within the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA).
NYCHA residents not only have to deal with blistering cold temperatures inside their homes due to lack or no heat, but also are forced to deal with poor to no maintenance, and deal with having to walk through complex grounds that seem to have been forgotten.
Most recently, we have learned that Bronx River Houses is currently experiencing an emergency as most if not all apartments tested for lead came back positive. While other developments are set to have their lead issues addressed, Bronx River will have to wait four times as long as other complexes.
It is shameful and unconscionable that families including children and seniors have to accept the kind of living conditions they do at Bronx River and all across the city. While elected officials fight and continue imploring for more NYCHA money, we are constantly slapped in the face with realities that are very difficult to tolerate.
Bronx River must be treated with the same sense of urgency as any other resident in the city. We need answers and we need solutions. I will remain vocal about this and every issue until my constituency is treated how they deserve to be treated.
