The NYC Comptroller's Office will conduct an audit examining the allocation of $3.18 billion in city funds for NYCHA capital projects, responding to tenant requests for greater transparency. This probe is driven by ongoing concerns about delayed repairs and inadequate communication regarding how funds are managed. Public housing tenants, through the NYCHA Resident Audit Committee, have raised issues about accountability. Comptroller Brad Lander emphasized the importance of analyzing the detailed four-year Capital Plan put forward by NYCHA, which outlines essential infrastructure upgrades needed in public housing developments.
We want to have transparency. Each development should know where the money that's coming to their development [is] and [what's to] be fixed.
With delayed repairs and services comes increased scrutiny of how NYCHA is allocating and spending their money. Fortunately, NYCHA put forth a very detailed four-year Capital Plan that my office can dig into and assess if NYCHA is delivering for their tenants.
