‘We gave NYCHA an ultimatum, and they listened’: Myrie

Brooklyn Sen. Zellnor Y. Myrie said on Friday that he and other local elected officials last week gave the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) an ultimatum to conduct repairs and address residents’ concerns at the Reid Senior Apartments in Crown Heights, “and they listened”, at least for once.

“We immediately reached out to NYCHA, then got on Twitter and told them publicly that if we did not see a response in 24 hours, there would be hell to pay,” Myrie continued. “By Thursday morning, NYCHA’s crew was at work. We went back today and saw the hallway had been fully cleaned up and covered with fresh paint.”
