Q&A

Banks asks about PAC work orders over 100 days and OCC response

New York City Council · Sep 22, 2026 · starts 2:10:48 · 3 min 10 sec

Banks asks whether NYCHA tracks PAC work orders open longer than 100 days and how OCC response compares. Beck says 65 PAC work orders were open more than 100 days through August, and OCC intake from PAC properties is very low, with only 39 tickets in the last quarter.

Chris Banks

Does NYCHA have a process to track work orders that have been opened for longer than 100 days in the PAC sites?

Chris Banks

And how many such work orders are there in PAC sites and weren't in 2026?

Heather Beck

Thank you for that question.

Heather Beck

We can track.

Heather Beck

Again, we would know.

Heather Beck

Thank you.

Heather Beck

Oh, let me just look at this really quick.

Heather Beck

So through the end of August, which was our last reporting period, we have 65 work orders that have been open for more than 100 days across the PAC portfolio.

Heather Beck

So again, that's across 32,000 units.

Heather Beck

So it accounts for less than half a percent.

Chris Banks

Okay.

Chris Banks

When it comes to the finance, how do response times from work orders submitted to the OCC center compared to those that are not?

Heather Beck

Can you ask that one more time?

Chris Banks

How do response times for work orders submitted to the OCC center or to the OCC compared to those that are not?

Chris Banks

And I guess that's across.

Heather Beck

Yeah, both PACT and NYCHA, Section 9, have access to the OCC.

Heather Beck

What we've seen on the PACT portfolio side is that the OCC,

Heather Beck

has pretty low intake from the packed properties.

Heather Beck

So in the last quarter of reporting from the OCC, there were only 39 tickets opened.

Chris Banks

With an average?

Heather Beck

For the packed properties.

Chris Banks

For the packed properties.

Heather Beck

Yeah, and of those...

Chris Banks

He said 39 tickets.

Chris Banks

39 in total.

Chris Banks

And that was in what year?

Heather Beck

This last quarter.

Chris Banks

This last.

Heather Beck

So quarter two.

Heather Beck

The last complete.

Chris Banks

And do you have any data going back?

Heather Beck

We would have that data and we can get that to you.

Heather Beck

It's reported to the special master at every quarterly report.

Heather Beck

But again, that 39 tickets is less than 1% of the entire packed portfolio.

Heather Beck

And we have seen pretty low usage.

Heather Beck

of the OCC across the PACT program.

Heather Beck

And we have tried to ensure there's a lot of outreach and information sharing about the OCC, including having the OCC call tenants directly who have had mold and leak work orders.

Chris Banks

The OCC is obviously responsible for promoting

Chris Banks

or advertising its information to the residents in Rad Pack.

Heather Beck

The OCC along with our partners and along with NYCHA.

Heather Beck

I think it's a shared responsibility.

Chris Banks

So how do completion rates for work orders submitted to the OCC compare to those that are not?

Heather Beck

I think that's a great question.

Heather Beck

I don't have that analysis in front of me, but we can look into that.
