"It is outrageous that Bronxites and New Yorkers are living in public housing with rats in their homes, lead paint, lack hot water and have an abundance of mold, meanwhile, the monitor responsible for fixing this mess received a high-priced contract and can’t say what work is actually being done. How in the world can the Monitor incur $3 million in expenses since its appointment without any transparency and accountability and yet money still isn’t going to where it’s needed most: to make repairs and restore dignity?
It is clear that a thorough audit and investigation is needed from Comptroller Stringer and Attorney General James. In addition, the New York congressional delegation should use its oversight authority to demand answers from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. We need to get to the bottom of how the federal monitor overseeing reforms at NYCHA is spending money, and whether it is helping families across New York."
