Queens Borough President Donovan Richards and state Senator James Sanders Jr. are demanding rent forgiveness for tenants of the New York City Housing Authority’s (NYCHA) Carleton Manor development in Arverne, as they enter their fourth month without hot water during frigid temperatures. 

Richards and Sanders were joined by current and former tenant association leadership and building tenants for a press conference on Monday, Feb. 7, outside of Carleton Manor, located at 74-15 Beach Channel Dr., urging NYCHA to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
