Banks asks Dickey whether NYCHA assessed safety risks; she says no
Banks asks whether NYCHA ever assessed the safety or accessibility risks of leaving Dickey in an incomplete kitchen for six months. Dickey says no one from housing raised that concern until Banks's office intervened.
Okay.
Thank you for that.
And during their initial visit or any time before my office stepped in, did NITRA conduct any assessment on whether
living in an incomplete kitchen for six months posed safety or accessibility risks for you and your family?
Never.
It was only like when you came in and stepped in, you understood my, like what I was thinking, like six months is a long time.
Like you said, the holidays, as we chatted, the holidays is going to be coming up.
And I enjoy you said just to sit down and eat as a family correctly.
Like that's a huge part of my day.
Like I want to hear what's going on with my grandkids and sit in my kitchen comfortably.
Like that's where we link up at.
And to sit down.
But because my kitchen was so dismantled, even when you stepped in, you was like, you know, you can understand my housing.
No one from housing ever said that.
It was just like, here's this sink and that should be fine.
