Public Testimony

Ramsey on communication, accountability, and RA Ledger tracking

New York City Council · Sep 22, 2026 · starts 0:17:08 · 2 min 25 sec

Ramsey says residents receive automated notifications and can choose appointment windows, with every action timestamped. He also describes a joint RA Ledger with the Eastchester Gardens Resident Association that reviews open, stalled, or defaulted tickets every two weeks.

A major reason for these results is

better communication.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

When residents put in a request, they can select their preferred appointment windows and receive automated notifications at every stage.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

Every message, update, and action is timestamped and documented so nothing falls through the cracks.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

Finally, technology is only as good as the people behind it.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

Accountability rests with our on-site property manager and dedicated management team.

Eddie Shester gone.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

Supported directly by the Wave Cuts Repairs team.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

They monitor and track tickets daily, follow up with the residents, and ensure repairs are resolved properly and promptly.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

We're proud of the response.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

Times and responsiveness and the accountability we have built and we remain dedicated to continuing this high standard for every resident in East Chester Gons.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

Also, we have created a joint tracking system that's the first in this city with the New York City High, I'm with Wave Press, I'm sorry, Wave Press and the East Chester Gons Resident Association called

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

We call it, what's the name?

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

It's called the RA Ledger Evaluation List.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

And what it is, every two weeks, we get open, stalled, or defaulted tickets.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

And if there's a problem, we straighten those things out ourselves.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

So we get a biweekly list.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

Ain't no New York City Housing Authority property manager ever gave us data on the open tickets.

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

We have done this.

Chris Banks

Do you need another 30 seconds?

Member of the Public - Keith Ramsey

No, but I would like to, if at all possible, I would like to give you somebody in one of these pamphlets of how East Chester Gons was an ugly duckling to a beautiful butterfly.
