BILL NUMBER:A8659 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to police services provided to the New York city housing authority PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The New York City housing authority shall not be required to pay any charges, assessments or other fees in connection with police patrols provided to housing facilities by the New York City police department. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 402 of the public housing law is amended by adding two new subdivisions 5-b. JUSTIFICATION: Four hundred thousand residents, 5% of New York city's population, live in NYCHA housing. This cash strapped agency should not have to make cash payments to the city for basic services which are provided through tax dollars. One public agency should not have to pay another public agency to do what it should already be doing. Figures show that NYCHA pays $73 million to the NYPD for patrol services. These patrols often do not occur. With NYCHA running a $200 million deficit every year, the payments should be eliminated and residents should receive police protection as do other residents.
