«When I saw this figure, 80% of residents without heat or hot water — I couldn’t think of anything to say. This is outrageous, said Ambri-Samuel. — There is a problem in almost every building managed by NYCHA».
The company has a website with up to date information about how to address the shortages of heat or hot water, but often, once the problem is eliminated in the same house, something breaks in the other.
«They react, of course. But if the boiler was in proper condition, and the company wisely managed, such an egregious situation would not have happened,» added city Council member who grew up, by the way, in such a house.
Many colleagues Ampri-Samuel believe that the head of NYCHA Shola Olatoye needs to retire.
Press Secretary NYCHA Jasmine Blake noted that they know about the problem and doing everything possible to address it.
