Now do the nyc mayor & the governor.

Thank you, I'm so glad that there are still some government employees doing their job.

[democracyforever]

Corrupt from top to bottom. The crimes probably have already been reported over the years. The question is why was this overwhelming crime allowed to go on in plain sight for over ten years? Hire some military veterans who actually deserve the city jobs.

Thank God. Justice is raining. Let it pour.

I live in a HYCHA project and tried to get a job in the agency and I am a veteran. To final see they are being caught for years of abuse against the tenants.

[Gww-]

It's a good start but keep on going. NYC has alot of curruption.

No bid contracts, kickbacks, and substandard shoddy work!! Its time to STOP blaming the tenant for the inferior quality of services and goods.

[WellBeing]

So these people will be kept in jail, and the illegal immigrant and that beat up the cops go free. 🤔

What does not come out in the WASH will Definitely come out in the RINSE 😂😂😂😂😂

[dannyrivera]

Gee it all makes sense now instead of fixing apts and providing heat and hot water for the tenants these people were fixing their pockets and meanwhile the tenants suffer and to the NYCHA administration you need to be held accountable and be fired the whole staff. And Mr mayor they are looking at you to. Check your phones

[BlazeOfGlory]

Hopefully they investigate MTA also just sayin 🤷🏾‍♂️

[tonychan]

Happened all the time on other places too. But law enforcement might got paid to look the other ways. It is happening in other departments too. Need some cleanup once the city run out of money.

This is why there should be socialized nothing nothing socialized, housing, education, health care, you name it. It’s all gonna suck if it’s socialized.

What about the people who have been on the waiting list since 2012, and they took me off the list. However, since then, I won a hearing and was granted to reapply. I was just taking off the list January 9th 2024. I went to update my application and it was taken me to another application then I was removed. But my other application was updated 😢

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ ABC 7 News
Please, when taking questions from the public or reporters either give them a microphone or repeat their questions. Because we are hearing answers but, we don't know what was the question.

[rolandogonzalez]

They also check Westchester County specially Yonkers

[NAPZ_TV]

Now think 🤔
…Just imagine how many subordinates they’ve falsified write-ups on amongst other falsified submitted documents?

How many subordinates they’d target, literally berate and harass, ETC. based on their own personal feelings? That’s an unhealthy workplace.

How many other atrocities have occurred due to those individuals being in power that has affected many peoples lives directly or indirectly?

Peace..

I heard that your employer has 5 apartment so he can rent on their price for his or her price for extra income and salary

[nickp]

Yes but what is being done about privately owned properties??? Nothing
