Tenants of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) at the Queensbridge Houses campus announced on Tuesday, Aug. 17, a class-action lawsuit against NYCHA for lagging in necessary repairs.

The Justice for All Coalition organized support and sought legal representation from Queens Legal Services, who filed the lawsuit on the tenants’ behalf. Residents have complained about vermin infestations, asbestos, lead paint and other harmful living conditions for years.
