While the Mamdani administration continues to hold \u201cRental Ripoff\u201d hearings in the five boroughs, some public housing residents say they feel left out of the conversation.<\/p>\n
Residents of the Fulton Houses in Chelsea have been locked in a legal battle with the Housing Authority over plans to demolish and replace thousands of units.<\/p>\n
In other parts of the city, more than 40,000 units have been converted to private management to help deal with the overwhelming cost of necessary renovations.<\/p>\n
Tenant feedback has been mixed.<\/p>\n
Lisa Bova-Hiatt, the CEO of the New York City Housing Authority, joined NY1 political anchor Errol Louis on \u201cInside City Hall\u201d Wednesday to discuss more.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry they feel that way. We have senior NYCHA officials at every hearing that the mayor is having. We also have so many ways that residents can share feedback with us,\u201d she said. \u201cWe do have a lot of ways NYCHA residents can share both their positive comments and their negative feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n
When it comes to the future of public housing,\u00a0Bova-Hiatt said she sees “investment.”<\/p>\n
\u201cNYCHA has been a staple in New York City for more than 90 years, and it\u2019s a challenge. It was a challenge before the mayor took office. It\u2019ll be a challenge after he leaves office. But I think there\u2019s collaboration. We definitely see that the city is investing in NYCHA in Fiscal Year 2027,\u201d she said. \u201cSo we see investment and we see a lot of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n
