Q&A

Morano questions Rudin on leaks and offline beds

New York City Council · Oct 21, 2026 · starts 2:35:09 · 1 min

Morano asks about leaks and tarps; Rudin says the city owns the building, seven units are offline, the number fluctuates with rainfall, and the city patches the roof.

Frank Morano

I have a couple of minor questions, brief questions, I should say.

Frank Morano

Just on the...

Frank Morano

Because it was the most glaring issue I observed when I was there, the leaking and the tarps.

Frank Morano

Commissioner Dalton indicated that there were about seven beds that were offline as a result of the leaks.

Frank Morano

Is that the case?

Frank Morano

And is that the case even when there's heavy rains and things like that?

Member of the Public - Jody Rudin

Yeah, I mean, it's important for me to clarify that the city owns the building and is responsible for the repairs in the capital.

Member of the Public - Jody Rudin

Yeah, the city is in regular touch with us before and after each rainfall to figure out the direction that the rain is leaking into the facility.

Member of the Public - Jody Rudin

We can iterate a process around making sure that beds are offline so that people aren't impacted by the rain.

Member of the Public - Jody Rudin

Currently, we have seven units offline.

Member of the Public - Jody Rudin

It's possible that that could fluctuate based on the direction of the rainfall and, most importantly, based on the remediation work that the city is doing to patch the roof.
