Q&A

Paladino questions roof cost and facility size

New York City Council · Oct 21, 2026 · starts 1:06:08 · 1 min 5 sec

Paladino asks the cost to fix the roof; Dalton says $4.3 million for the entire roof and skylights, and Paladino asks about square footage and roof layers, which Dalton does not know.

Vickie Paladino

Also, the Commissioner of Homeless Services.

Vickie Paladino

We have got, you're talking about how much is it going to cost?

Vickie Paladino

The number went by me.

Vickie Paladino

Maybe it got caught in my head and I'm not quite sure, but I'd like you to repeat yourself.

Vickie Paladino

What is the amount to fix the roof that only is going to displace seven veterans?

Vickie Paladino

So that's a rather small piece of a roof unless you're doing the entire roof.

Vickie Paladino

What is the price of that?

Erin Dalton

I'll answer the question first about the price and then try to clarify the seven quickly.

Vickie Paladino

Well, you...

Vickie Paladino

Go ahead.

Erin Dalton

So the price that is budgeted is $4.3 million.

Vickie Paladino

$4.3 million.

Erin Dalton

To replace the entire roof and skylights.

Vickie Paladino

Okay.

Vickie Paladino

Are they removing just the third roof, the second roof?

Vickie Paladino

What's going on?

Vickie Paladino

You know there's three roofs, and then they've got to rip off and do a complete redo.

Vickie Paladino

How big is the facility?

Vickie Paladino

What's the square footage of the facility?

Erin Dalton

I'd have to get back to you.

Erin Dalton

I don't know.

Vickie Paladino

You're not sure about that.

Vickie Paladino

Okay.

Vickie Paladino

Because that determines price.
