Comptroller Stringer Statement on NYCHA

“Now they want a monitor?  NYCHA already has monitors – its residents who have suffered from decades of disinvestment.  They’re the parents who sought help when their child got lead poisoning.  The grandmother who has to huddle near a stove when it’s colder inside her apartment than outside.  And the family dealing with health issues because of rampant mold in their home.

“The time for talk and political stunts is over.  Cut the long overdue check from the federal government to fully fund the needed repairs, listen to the real NYCHA monitors, put a plan in place, and get to work.”
