Farías cites DFTA's latest annual report showing 27 documented complaints about living conditions across 109 OACs in NYCHA-owned property. She asks what kinds of complaints were mainly received, how they were resolved, and how long resolution takes. McKenzie says average resolution is 12.8 days; Trimble says top complaints are paint, floors, walls, ceilings, and doors.

According to DIFTA's latest annual report on older adult center metrics across 109 AOCs located in NYCHA-owned property, there were 27 documented complaints regarding living conditions.

Amanda C. Farías

Could you elaborate on the kind of complaints you were mainly receiving?

Amanda C. Farías

How were they resolved, and how long do specific situations typically take to get resolved?

Lisa Scott McKenzie

I'm sorry, are you saying these are living conditions?

Amanda C. Farías

Yes, OACs, locate, I'm sorry.

Amanda C. Farías

This was the conditions in the OACs, I apologize.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

Okay, I think we've talked about the fact that it takes on average 12.8 days for any issue that's picked up at the sites.

Lisa Scott McKenzie

I'm not sure if we're speaking outside of that framework that we've been talking about earlier, or is there something else?

Amanda C. Farías

No, just want to have a sense of what kind of complaints have you mainly been receiving and how long do those take typically?

Eva Trimble

So our typical complaints mirror some of the conditions in our residential buildings as well.

Eva Trimble

So we have paint issues, floors, walls, ceilings, and doors are the top five categories of complaints that we receive.
