The deteriorating conditions at the Bushwick/Hylan Houses in Williamsburg have prompted seven New York politicians to demand urgent repairs. A recent inspection revealed over 100 units suffering from water damage and mold, with a significant number also infested with vermin. City councilwoman Jennifer Gutiérrez noted that many residents are accustomed to the lack of responsiveness from authorities, while promises of repairs remain unfulfilled. The letter to the New York City Housing Authority details the dire living conditions and a history of neglect, urging for immediate action to address the longstanding issues.
The Bushwick/Hylan Houses opened in 1960 and serve some 3,200 New Yorkers, but have deteriorated into uninhabitable conditions marred by water damage and vermin.
Jennifer Gutiérrez emphasized that residents are conditioned to the lack of response, which highlights the systemic issues within public housing maintenance.
The letter sent to the New York City Housing Authority reveals broken promises regarding repairs, leaving residents' requests unanswered or closed without resolutions.
Our constituents deserve speed in resolving these issues after prolonged inaction, as stated in the letter by seven elected officials.
