Law-Gisiko cites locked-in tenant and broken building entrance
Law-Gisiko says a tenant became locked in her apartment and the fire department had to break her door because NYCHA could not send a locksmith. She says the door remains unrepaired and a Fulton building entrance has been broken for weeks despite multiple tickets.
Let me give you a couple of examples.
Recently, a tenant became locked in her own apartment.
Because Naisha was unable to send a locksmith to untrap the tenant, the fire department had to break her door to get her out.
The door has still not been repaired.
to this date.
And she has now been told that the repair will take many weeks and maybe months because a carpenter is not available before at least two to three months.
That is putting her and her household at risk.
At Fulton Building 11, the front entrance door has been broken for weeks.
Multiple tickets have been submitted, but repairs still await.
These are not cosmetic issues.
A functioning apartment door, functioning building entrance are among the most basic elements of safety and security in residential housing.
