Leaks, missing floor tiles, walls left unfinished and rat infestations were just some of the complaints lodged against the New York City Housing Authority, as residents and local politicians blasted the city agency for continuously failing to address structural repairs in the Bushwick Houses development.

Councilmember Jennifer Gutierrez gathered with Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and Assemblymember Maritza Davila outside of 24 Humboldt St. on Friday morning, May 13 to advocate for residents whose apartments are left in disrepair from storm damage caused by Hurricane Ida last September.
