WHO: Council Member Fernando Cabrera, tenants association president and residents of NYCHA senior development
QUOTE: “Once again NYCHA residents are forced to live in inhumane conditions because of the neglect and lack of transparency of this agency. It’s unimaginable that NYCHA would allow tenants of a senior citizen development to live without heat since the beginning of the winter and not even address these issues in advance of the city’s worst snowstorm since 2016. NYCHA is putting seniors’ lives at risk. I have submitted legislation to the NYC Council that would allow NYCHA residents to use the City’s 311 system to register complaints and make service requests, since NYCHA’s system is dysfunctional and unaccountable.”
Council Member Cabrera is available for interviews.
Council Member Fernando Cabrera has proudly served the 14th District since 2010
