NYC Housing Authority [NYCHA]

I'm writing the city of ny with regards to my neighbors who reside in 4d who has individuals residing in her apt who are conducted illegal business in the building. She also sits dogs and I caught her coming to the 2 floor (my floor) with the dogs she sits on occasion . She's allowing the dogs to urinate on the A stair hall which is located beside my door. During the summer of 2011 4d allowed numerous individuals in my home who she was aware of the risk that it pose to me and my family. They did something to my eyes, my hair and vandalized my apartment. Damaged my computer, my head and footboard, Stealing bras and panties, curling irons, damaging me and my daughters furniture and throwing away my daughters clothing. They also pried open my safe and went into my personal documents.She also paid people teenagers and adult boys to go to places where I frequent stating that I was schizophrenia based on a term paper I had wrote for school when someone had mixed drugs into my drink which caused temporary psychosis. The only way she could have been aware of this experience was if she went through my suitcase where my course work was. Being that I suffered the onset of menopause for the past months I haven't been the same yet the girl along with her friends continue to taunt me using 3C as a way of insulting me.by the time I had recognized what went on in my home, I contacted the police who stated that it was too late to make a police report ( sergeant Davis and partner) then the same groups tampered with my vehicle placing water in my tank having their gang members follow me around in vehicles. I believe that they committed a crime against me on numerous occasions as I slept. One day I woke up with the left side of my jaw was saw. I had the taste of vagina on my lips And my right and left eye have not been the same. You see, my eyes seem to be growing circular hair as my eyes use to change colors and spots in my hair began to grow back after the locks were changed in my apartment. I have been totally disable since 2008 and the residence were well aware of this they went as far as telling a good friend that I was going crazy with schizophrenia and her and her mother(paid people to do things to my car and may have even went as far as accessing my private information on her moms Pc or from a pc located in this area or the Jamaica avenue area as these individuals reside and or are former residence of 40projects, hillside avenue, Pomonok houses and queens bridge projects. Currently I have put in for transfer because 4d has vandalized my house and defame my character. This girl has even stated to people including local law enforcement that she was my relative ( sister) she along with some of her friends stating hat they were my cousins. Her friends or family who reside in electchester are continuously keeping watch for police because they are involved in illegal activity. After I made complaints to numerous organizations the aboved mentioned along with other residence in the building have been deciding to sew NYCHA nosing full well that they have been long time perpetrators to the precincts in this area 197 and psa9. Theyve been stating that they would try to get residence signatures only to make the Housing authority liable for their behavior and the behavior of their children. I will also attempt to print this letter and mail it to the legal department as they may not be aware. For the safety of the children, elderly and disabled residence are left at risk because of the activities taking place in the building. Since I reported the incidence they been screaming that it's going to be murder so that I could hear it but I'm not afraid as I have made numerous complaints and if I need to go public I ask that you assist me in this mater. The police seem to have done what they could but have not made an arrest that I am aware. 4d allowed a guy that abused his daughter and who made threats against me into my apartment too. Which was dangerous as Malcolm hills so called daughter was left to my responsibility and he continued to be too agreesive with the child. Leaving the child with a person who suffered with a severe disability, hitting the toddler and having numerous females sleep in the bed with the child when I would leave her. Ericka Johnson was aware of this matter and allowed these individual's into my home. I thought that I knew her well enough to hold my key foe emergencies only for her to put me in a dangerous situation. What made me ask for my key back was because she wasn't acting the same towards me. She couldn't even look me in my face which is uncommon of her unless she was up to something or something was wrong only to find that she made additional copies of my keys.. Unaware an individual that I had met in the summer feared for his safety. I let him hold the key for emergency only as he had taken the wrap for someone only to find that he was in no danger during that time, I was told by Jamal absulRaheem not to even deal with her anymore as he became aware of her verbally defacing me. I also had manure placed down my pipes by someone who either resided or lived in the apartment. Then one day Ericka Johnson approaches me and mushed me in my face which led to me having to defend myself after the fight I went upstairs and Ericka had her friend place a paper with my personal information itch rough my vehicles windows . I explained to the police that it was a group against one as some of them have been in the area and know these residence as they've been here longer than I have and have not done much to find out anything. The residence that participated all of the sudden started behaving negatively towards me for no reason at all. When I would walk in my building they began running for no reason as I have. Not donre anything to them but because they are trying to cover their wrong doing, started behaving as if I was after them for no reason. When I would walk into the building they'd run to their floor and began laughing because ericka made them aware of what took place in my home. Shes been paying them as they became close after learning what happened in my home.. I would like the city to move me away from here as this girl has been causing problems with me and my associates and defiling me.

I moved to this development because of an emergency transfer in april of 2011. With the transfer came back rent that was owed. The development I came from was queensbridge north houses. The manager at that development wouldn't lower my rent according to what public assistance would pay because in her words "your moving anyways why should I lower it!" when I moved to the polo grounds they had a problem lower my rent due to the previous office not doing it them selves. Public assistance wont pay that back rent because they feel it should have been done about a year ago when queensbridge was asked to lower the rent and didnt. Ok now to the actuall problem. My kitchen sink has been clogged for 4 weeks. I have standing water that stinks like sewage. I have to go my relatives house on the weekends to get a good meal because if I cook at my house I have to wash my pots and dishes in my bathroom tub, the same place where my 3 yr old and 4 month old get bathed! They are telling me they can't get a plumber untill april 20th! I went to the management office and he took down my information, and instead of following up with me he preceded to ask me about the back rent. I have been getting the runaround. And my kitchen sink is in worst conditions than before! Not only is there stand water that stinks very very bad, but the pipes are leaking underneath. I have had to take out all my pots out and they are now scattered all over my table and stove. There is no where to sit and eat with my children! I paid the back rent with my income tax money, because I was tired of fighting this fight for the past year and figured instead of buying my children much needed clothes I might as well pay this and maybe they will fix my sink! Well I was wrong. The rent was paid and no one is working any faster!. Please help me! They have the worst attitude on top of not being helpful at all!

Dear sir:
My name is tony bobet. I resided at 1710 seward avenue, bronx, new york city, 10473. I file another complaint that i getting evict from my apartment. But, i think or supposely that they can not get evict. I didn't went to the court last year. And, i getting evict. But, i have some proof that i can not get evict. The reason i owed back rent. But, i have some reason. Below of this page i have a good reason. Here some proof.

Its funny how nycha cant fix the repairs in tenants home but have money to have big functions in the community centers. When they name my development sonya sotomayor houses they went all out. They was cutting grass, planting trees, painting the parking lott for their big party they were having in the community center. There were so much maintenance workers really working their ### off the week before the party. They were even towing cars out the parking lot.. I mean the only time nycha cleans up is when an important person comes to visit. Nycha cleaned and repaired the outside of the building but what about the inside,. What about the tenants repairs. The housing assistant for my-building is-an wise ###! Every time you make a complaint to him he says " if I don't see I don't see it I cant report it". There was a big dead rat laying in my walkway last year and I called him to tell him and he says. I cant report it so I cant say its there! Unfortunately the news came out and put it on tv and this man stills have his job!. I was just in the office and he was telling his supervisor that he could not look back in a tenants record. He says he goes by the rules! What is the rules? Is the rules not to do your job? There is so much I can tell y'all but to much to write. But I will find someone who will listen and record it and play it for the world to see. I have pictures, videos and much more of the ###ery that's been going on!

To whom it may concern,
My name is tena perez and i'm writing to complain about nycha application process. I've submited my housing application on may 2008, and again on feb 2011. I've been on the waiting list for 4 years. I've updated my application 3 times because my housing situation changed. When I first applied I had 1 child now I have 2 and one on the way plus i'm married now. They keep telling me my application is on file and I have not even received a interview. I feel as if i'm being bypassed. Im in need of assistance immediately. This is becoming unreal and I don't know where else to turn.

Dear sir / madam:
I am extremely disapointment that new york city housing authority. They do not care the safety of the tenant. On, december 22, 2011. That someone got mugged and I knew will happen of it. They told us the tenant, that they installed some camera in project. That I resided that be 6 years of living here. And, some people that live they are scare of living here. We have people or peoples be hang out in the lobby and the stair. I do not really, honestly, I do not care if I get in trouble, their any care the R.E.N.T. That, why I am in strike, yes, strike, about an year.

I am so sick and tired of NYCHA letting their workers get away with stuff. I have a friend that live in Mitchel, J.P. Houses in the Bronx, N.Y. She have always cried on my shoulder on how it was a mistake getting involved with a housing worker. She have told me that there a few times that she had sexual intercourse with this individual and some how everyone knew about it. People even thought at one point she was his girlfriend. She didnt want everybody knowing about it and now people come up to her calling her every name in the book. What this man did was ruin her reputation where now she is afraid to come outside. People started taking pictures of her naked and having sex with other men. I believe now she have began turning to drugs just to deal with the humiliation because she doesnt have any where else to go. She is afraid of making a complaint because she doesnt want him to retaliate and have people jump her. He knows almost everybody in those projects. I was told I couldnt complain about it for her because it didnt happen to me. If anybody can come up with suggestions please let me know. No one should go through this. NYCHA cover up their own ### and I am sick of it. If I have to get on television to bring light to the corruption, I will.

I just inquiring on how do I go about try to get a neighbor thats related to an upper staff in nycha to stop her music from playing.

I live at marble hill houses for the last six years, everytime there is a heavy downpour of rain the water backups through my toilet, sink and bathtub. It is like a geyser. I finally took a video and pictures. I have used my clothes, towels, blankets etc to always clean up this mess then have to discard everything. I have notified management everytime this happens and yet have been reimbursed for any of my losses. Anyone can tell me how to post the video to nycha website? I would like them to experience first hand what I go through. Not to mention my husband is disabled. Any suggestions? Help! Photo to large to post here.

I have contacted nycha about 5 times already to come in and repair my bathroom for mold and mildew. First four times noone showed, even with an appointment date. And finally the fifth call someone showed up just to look at it and tell me that I have to call and make another appointment. I have missed work and had family members go out of their way to stay in the apt so that someone is home just in case they decide to show up. Now I am told that I have to wait 48 hrs to submit a new request. I have three children in the apt and the ceiling in the bathroom looks like its going to fall any minute now. And whenever I try to file a formal complaint, I just get re-directed back to the nycha maintanence line. Its very frustrating.

On december 1, 2010 I went to the section 8 office on fordham road bronx new york to submit all the necessary documents for a portability to another state, at this time the representative at the call center stated to me it will take anywhere between 6-8 weeks to be processed and i'll be able to move. On december 16, 2010 I had gotten assualted in my own buliding by a neighbor that also lives in the building, a arrest had been made and I was referred to victims services through the manhattan district's attorney's office and they gave me letters for a expedited transfer/portability and also stated to me that the paperwork should speed the process up to help me move out of the danger that me and my family are enduring. At this date which is 6/7/11, I call the call center every two-three days and I get the same answer every time (that the portabilty is on the desk of the supervisor awaiting approval) and it's been sitting there since 5/14/2011 and there isn't nothing being done to speed the process along to assure me and my four children. The answer I received along with (Its still pending approval) , is the work load is over back logged, not enough man power to do the work.. Please get back in contact with me with some help to help me and my family move. Thank you in advance

There have been several leaks from the apartment above mine for the past several years. Recently there has been at least one leak per day and I have knocked upstairs resulting in either the tenant ignoring the knocks, or them denying that the leak is coming from their above apartment. The emergency number given is an absolute joke [protected] as the operator either takes years to answer the phone and if they do the problem is given a ticket. Usually no one ever comes to check out the problem and if they do they arrive without giving proper notice ahead of time. I am trying at all cost to avoid confrontation as I feel if I run into the tenant they will be greeted with a punch to the mouth. But rather than doing this I would rather find an alternative way of remedying the problem. Is there another way to complain about a neighbor who is neglecting to acknowledge that the leak is coming from their apartment so that the problem can be resolved without confrontation.

I've been having issues with grant houses since 2001.. I put in for a transfer to a bigger apartment 3bedrooms in 2001 when I had ms. Garcia as a housing assistant they claim they can't find the paper work... I did another in 2007 they clain there was a computer glitch and that they where sorry they would back date my paper work... However it is now 2011 ad I have 6people living in a 2bed room apartment my husband and I our 2 daughters ages 17 and 2 and our 2 boys ages 15 and 8... I don't see what's the hold up or why its taking so long my 2 girls should not be sharing a room with my 2 boys and especially not at those ages... All they keep telling me is that its a numberised system andi have to wait for my number to come up.. I've already contacted the management office and spoke to my housing assistant aswell her supervisor/the bourgh office/city hall/albany/the white house/bill perkind/charles rangel/tenants rights exectera and nothing... Every time I call the rent office they say I have to waitand tat i've already written everybody.. Me and my family are in need of help if anyone has any advise thehy can offer... Help us please

I’m rodrice a. Vincent, and I was abused, harassed, defamed, and slandered by a new york city housing authority supervisor, and on or about july 31, 2009, she used her co-workers in official capacity to get me terminated from my provisional position. Based on the same false testimony which I was terminated, n. Y. C. H. A. Also tried to prevent me from getting unemployment, a matter which was resolved in my favor. Currently I am being threatened with termination of my tenancy from the new york city housing authority; nycha is claiming & ldquo;breach of rules and regulations” and & ldquo;non-desirability. & rdquo;

I’m a single mom of 3, I need help and don’t know who to turn to. I don’t owe any money in rent, and I am in good standing with the management in the nycha development where I live. I am an upstanding citizen, a college student, and an overall good human being-with several references to testify to that fact. I was a provisional employee, so the abuse that I endured was ignored. I have lived in my apartment for nearly seven years, and have never had a problem with anyone. I filed a complaint with the new york state division of human rights, but the case was dismissed as my complaint was not under the jurisdiction of human rights law. I filed this case in august of 2009, and it was dismissed in october of 2010. These threats of eviction, and the accusations that led to them, are not only continued harassment from my initial termination, and the incidents which led to it, but also retaliation for filing a complaint with the state division. P. S. Housing has offered me to make a settlement. If I withdraw my complaints, they will stop accusing me. Sounds more like exploitation, and admitting guilt on their part to me. They presented this settlement agreement to the new york state division of human rights, it was only offered orally to me.

All I want is justice, and to be left alone. My problem is that I cant fight with a major entity such as nycha on my own. I have a substantial paper trail of evidence that can support my innocence. A blind man could see the abuse i’m enduring from a block away; if only he bothered to look… I truly need help. If you cant help me, would you please do me the service of passing this plea to anyone that you know who might be able to do so. I so humbly thank you in advance, if even you took the time to read this.

Sincerely,

Rodrice a. Vincent

No heat throughout the entire development in this area. Many tenants have complaint to the nyc complaint line 311am all we receive is a complain # and report the complaint to the manager. I would like to submit a complaint form to another person or agency that would help us tenants with disabilities.

Hi, I am a tenant at 520 east 21st street apt 4r. I travel with migraines and high blood pressure and the people upstairs in apt 5r are constantly making a considerable amount of noise. The noise is becoming unbearable, they moved in about 2-3 months ago and the noise gets worse, we spoke to them nothing improved, the superintendent spoke to them and there hasn't been any justice. Someone got them in the building because their name is not on the lease and it started out as just a woman and man living up there with 2 kids, now they brought more people into that house there are now aunts, sisters, and grandparents along with 5 kids up there. Everybody my daughter and myself are woken up 7-8 in the morning from the stomping and running, the kids don't go to school and I work in the evenings so I need my rest in the morning and never get it. This needs to stop, the apartment above them 6r is empty, maybe if its possible they can be asked to put carpet down or move to another apartment because to my knowledge a letter was already sent to them about the noise and nothing happened.
