Q&A

Banks presses on preventing violations and court appearances

New York City Council · Oct 27, 2026 · starts 1:25:20 · 59 sec

Banks asks how NYCHA will ensure this stops happening. Trimble says they cannot fully stop enforcement agency activities but will work with providers to cure violations once aware. Banks says faster response to complaints would help prevent providers from being dragged into court.

Chris Banks

And how are you working to ensure that this stops happening?

Eva Trimble

I don't know if we can ever fully stop.

Eva Trimble

These are important enforcement agency activities.

Eva Trimble

But once we are aware of a violation, we will work with the provider to understand the conditions that have resulted and determine the best path forward to cure that violation.

Chris Banks

Okay.

Chris Banks

I think this kind of goes back to the response and the time frame on when a complaint is put in and how quick you respond back to bringing some resolution to whatever the complaint may be.

Chris Banks

I think that would be a much more appropriate response in making sure these types of things stop, where these providers have to be dragged into old court for this.

Chris Banks

So hopefully you take that into consideration.

Chris Banks

I'll turn it back over to the chair.

Chris Banks

Thank you.
