      I think he was referring to those who did not pay rent since he said before they evict someone they make sure to help the tenant who is unable to pay the rent.

    I don't really trust NYCHA selling these developments out to private developers. NYCHA probably has been mishandling money all these years and now that it's time to do the work they don't have the funding so they want to sell out to developers willing to do the renovations. Where will low income have to live if they keep selling projects? Ijs

      Oh your 100 percent correct they mismanaged money and give contracts to their friends way over what it should cost.
      And these new management are gonna kick ppl out really fast, unlike nycha who will let you throw diapers out the window

      @@john214351 I've always wondered why they would have that scaffolding up so many years without work being done..obstructing tenants view and wasting space. They really need someone to hold NYCHA accountable for their crap and get people in those high management leadership positions that actually give a damn. Get rid of the self serving opportunists just greasing their own pockets.

    Those new renovations aren't for the tenants, otherwise they would've been done years ago by NYCHA. Public housing sits on prime real estate/location, and built solid (if an apt catches fire it won't spread to the next). I grew up in the Smith projects. Check out where it is, and what it's near. It's just one reason why private developers are salivating.

      Smith Houses is one of the top five developments in all of NYCHA. The residents were pleasant and the grounds staff did their best to keep it up.

    • @kemilkerim4973
      @kemilkerim4973 Год назад

      Of course it wasn't about the tenants living in NYCHA, but they couldn't do it back then because they didn't have the Funds for such renovations. But today they now have the funds due to partnership with developers of the PACT program. Lets see what happens.

    I live in the Independence Towers building and thrme Williamsburg Housing Perseverance LP are kicking people out of their two bedroom apartments to one. If you don't do that they Wan you to pay $2,255 or they will evict you. The changing of the kitchen, floors and bathroom...tucking scam. These buildings are for the rich now, not the people who need theses apartmsnt.

      Pretty much! I grew up in NYCHA and there’d be people only paying $100 a month rent and be having 6 or 7 months back rent. My grandmother who worked had to pay the ceiling rent, and had no issues staying current. If you didn’t pay your rent, then you don’t deserve to stay, it’s as simple as that.

    As I sit here I look at this development and I cry because even though my development is not that bad but I need to be in a housing project like this I'm in grant houses and I am in a domestic violence situation and I need a transfer but I don't want to transfer somewhere where it's worse than where I am now I want to know I'll be safe but I also would like heat and hot water so if any applications available I would appreciate you letting me know so I can go through the procedure I did put in for a transfer twice and it was closed twice without explanation so I'm supposed to do it again but I want to be in somewhere safe and clean like that but I heard there's no availability there as I would have thought

    • @719kai719
      @719kai719 2 года назад +4

      You should get a police report and take it to the NYCHA office directly or contact a Domestic Violence Victims Advocacy type organization that might be helpful in getting you a transfer. I know some women have gone into.DV shelters and gotten decent housing that way. It seems that you would be a higher priority for transfer considering the circumstances. As far as transferring to a nicer project I don't know if it's ever really possible to know if any project is going to be better) worse ..or about the same unless you speak to current tenants..I hope it all works out for you
