Garbage

On 70 Pitt Street, some keeps tossing pampers from their window. The place is riddled with disposed pampers and no one seems to care. I want the person to stop and if possible, fined, maybe that will stop them from this animal like behavior. Who throws their garbage out the window anyway?
The address
70 Pitt Street
New York, NY 10002

Back of the building, pampers on awning and grass.

DREW HAMILTON HOUSES

I have lived in Drew Hamilton Houses for more than thirty years and the maintenance has gone down considerably.What I am complaining about today is the fact that the water is constantly being shut off without prior notice.There is no water in the kitchen and none in the bathroom which means that I am not able to flush the toilet.This is not acceptable for a tenant that is current in rent.Something needs to be done now.

no heat for over a month

I live at Stanley houses project, 1806 1st. Ave. #24D,N.Y.10128, I have been complaining for over a month regarding no heat in my bedroom and my kitchen only. I complained to the my housing assistant, and assistant manager. I called in several tickets for no heat in the 2 rooms I have mentioned. The ticket numbers are:10/21/15-#40055821, 11/17/15-#40586529, 11/30/15-#40752305; 11/24/15-#40705557; 12/1/15-#40770605; 12/3/15-#40807186;#40807180. These are only a few; the problem still has not been resolved. I still have no neat since the winter started in my kitchen and the bedroom comes and goes.

Please help me with this important matter. This is not right, every year housing raises my rent and I'm not getting the services. I go thru this situation every year.

Please help, my cell # 917-678-9282 or 212-371-6230

Thank you.

Heat

I wish there was no heating in my apartment. What is nycha trying to do cook me?? I understand that it's cold outside and heating is a requirement from oct 1st but I'd appreciate an adiquite amount. I have to sleep in my living room with the air conditioner on. I can't even sleep on my own bed because it's so hot. Even when it's 60 something outside they have the heat on 80 or so. Not only is it not cost effective but it's probably not good for anyone's health. Dehydration and going from an oven to a fridge and back again isn't good and there are a lot of elderly folk in nycha

Transfer request

After most of my household moved out of our 4 bedroom apartment I got a notice from NYCHA saying I needed to downsize and failure to downsize can result in an eviction. So I filed a transfer form, it's been over 2 months now and every time I go back to see my assistant she claims my papers are on her managers desk but she hasn't had a chance to sign them because they have more pressing issues. I know there's a bigger family out there dying for more space and can use that 4 bedroom apt. Plus is know some of these housing assistant be up to no good. They are gonna give me the run around and turn around and try to evict me and claim I never filed for a transfer. Can someone help me with this issue?

HOLDOVER CASE

NYCHA IS AS DIRTY AS THE FILTH IN THE ELEVATORS AND HALLWAYS. I DO AGREE THAT ITS NOT ALL NYCHA'S FAULT...MANY OF THESE TENANTS AND OCCUPANTS ARE JUST AS DIRTY AS WELL!!!! I AM A REGISTERED OCCUPANT IN QUEENSBRIDGE NORTH HOUSES AND FACING EVICTION IN A HOLDOVER CASE. I CAME TO LIVE WITH MY ELDERLY, AILING AUNT WHO WAS ALL ALONE AND COULDN'T TAKE CARE OF HERSELF. I UNSELFISHLY GAVE UP THE APARTMENT I HAD TO COME STAY AND TAKE CARE OF HER. SADLY SHE PASSED ON TWO MONTHS AFTER MOVING IN. BEFORE SHE PASSED...I REQUESTED A PERMANENT APPLICATION TO BE PLACED ON HER LEASE, THAT SHE WAS OKAY WITH AT THE TIME. I RECEIVED THE APPLICATION, FILLED IT OUT, MY AUNT SIGNED IT AND I SIGNED IT. TURNED IT INTO THE MANAGEMENT OFFICE...AND WAS TOLD I WASN'T ALLOWED TO REQUEST PERMANENT STATUS. THEY WOULD ONLY ALLOW TEMPORARY CONSENT UP TO ONE YEAR. I HAVE AN APARTMENT APPLICATION ON FILE WITH NYCHA FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS STILL WAITING FOR AN INTERVIEW, MY AUNT PASSED AWAY IN OCTOBER 2014...SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH TO COURT AND HEARINGS AND BY GOD'S GRACE... I AM CURRENTLY STILL OCCUPYING THE APARTMENT. ITS VERY DISHEARTENENING THAT AN APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT I GREW UP IN AS AN ADOLESCENT, NOW WANTS TO EVICT ME AND MAKE ME HOMELESS AFTER RETURNING TO TAKE OF A SICK RELATIVE WHO HAS DIED. I AM PAYING USE AND OCCUPANCY, BUT ONLY HALF OF WHAT MY AUNT WAS PAYING SO I'D BE ABLE TO SAVE SOME MONEY FOR A ANOTHER PLACE. THE RENTS EVERYWHERE ARE SO DAMN HIGH!!! I DON'T EARN MUCH...AND HOPED THAT QUEENSBRIDGE NORTH WOULD TRY TO HELP ME SUCCEED MY AUNT'S LEASE. I CAN'T DO HOMELESSNESS. I NEED REAL HELP!!!

Tenant harassment

This has been going on for quite sometime now. I have been living in nycha for years. I live under an old woman who has a
Grand child. For the last couple of years, everything it gets hot,
And everytime I turn on my a/c. She says hi to me when she sees me but confronts my husband when she sees him about my a/c leaking. It's to the point I called management yesterday and they said they were coming but never did. I purchased a fan just so I won't have to deal w the non sense. This woman has tried to get me evicted, by filing false complaints about me all because I won't pull my a/c in. She reported me to housing regarding the a/c and I'm tired of the none sense. I'm disabled pretty much, I have my own problems w nycha. Last thing I need is this foolishness. Since she knows everyone else's business she's been trying me for a while now. And I don't make friends where I live, I stay to my self and I don't bother any one. The prosperity manager said its because your air conditioner is not supposed to leak and the neighbors above me isn't supposed to leak ither. So I guess the water supposed to back up and flood the apt?? But yet they never showed up??? I told them I felt like I was being harassed by this woman and nothing gets done. I seriously want a transfer out because it's a constant issue. I'm very anti social and I live very privately for the simple fact I don't want to be the center of some ones gossip because in kingsborough once people know your business so will the whole neighbour hood. Please if any one has any advice please e mail me [email protected]

NO Hot water

It is crazy that people who work and pay their rent are not entitle to hot water. This been going on over two months where NYCHA in Jacob Riis Houses have not been giving tenant hot water to wash themselves or dishes. Once in a while is okay but Ever SUNDAY NOW TO TWO MONTHS THERE SOMETHING VERY WRONG AND NOT NOTICES. Someone in charge need to take a look at these problems of no hot water and get it corrected. I work for a living and pay my rent every month. I am not living in here free no one is. Give us a break and give us HOT WATER the way it should be.

For those who read this. 311 will not help us because it is housing what makes them special that they don't have to follow the rules. This is such injustice because you live in NYCHA that give them the right not to do what the law demands. Today is May 11, 2016

Neighbors doing drups

my neighbors are doing drugs in the hallway where my kids have to pass by to go to their school bus. The Mother is Maria and has two grown sons that lives with her but are not on the lease. They also put holes in my wall. The police didn't do anything. I'm looking into getting a transfer. This is 50 Paladino Avenue. Their apartment is 3G. The son are Alex and Tito. Alex is a registered pediflie. This was my only choice to get an appointment. I didn't want to live here because of all the crack heads in this area.

NO Notices

This complaint refers to Marcy Housing Development Turning to Hot Water boiler on and off without sending out notices that the hot water will be off for a certain amount of time. I find it unfair to the tenants that have to work on Saturday Mourning, as well as people that attend church on Sundays. Is it asking too much to print notices stating what hours the water will be cut off? November 1-2 2014 we were inconvenienced !!

My husband and I have been tirelessly requested to be relocated to Queens and to be given a 504 due to our disability we are constantly held back by management with many obstacles we have submitted medical letters and family reasons or both since 2 years even the adding to lease of my disabled spouse Luis A. Pumarejo Jr was a dilemma and now we are sitting in a studio apartment which is over crowded and constitute our safety and well being. Please investigate

scared for my childrens saftey

To whom it may concern,

I live in Tompkins Houses in Brooklyn ever since I have moved here I suffer from anxiety and depression I am scared for my life the constant shooting day and night is scary I am petrified and it seems like no one cares! They are shootings and I call 911 not sure what happens after that because I rarely see police come sometimes I think they are scared to come here! It is really bad it is not fair to live like this we pay rent like everyone else! If we don't we will be harassed with eviction and court proceeding but what happens when we get shoot in a cross fire or a bullet comes through our window when we are sleeping! Something needs to be done military assistance because the local precent is not cutting it!!! Please help someone I cannot live like this anymore!! And as far as our stupid mayor with the no stop and frisk they need to concentrate on stop and frisk in the appropriate locations which would be within the nycha locations where most of the teen boys walk around with guns!!!!

Cats being left on NYCHA properties

I live in Patterson Houses, There are some of us that feed the cats left in the building or around the area. I know for a fact that an employee has been threaten, do to the fact that they assume she is feeding the cats. The man that cleans the building where I live has told me that she was told that she will get a memo. They in the office keep thinking its her, but its not. She keeps taking the blame. Its a shame how they are not calling the animal control and care. Don't want to pay the $15.00 fee, but can go to the store to buy ALCOHOL.
