But mayor says it’s not that bad

2,836 residents were enduring heat and hot water outages.

Throughout Friday, Public Advocate Letitia James was getting calls from all over.

With temperatures dropping, outages hit Van Dyke, Pink, Bushwick, Farragut Houses and Hope Gardens in Brooklyn; Sedgwick, Pelham Parkway, Sotomayor and Mott Haven Houses in the Bronx, and Drew-Hamilton, Washington and Samuel Houses in Manhattan.

She also heard from tenants in Redfern Houses in Far Rockaway, which the city had said was restored by Thursday.

James said NYCHA was closing their requests for heat as completed without doing the actual work.

“They’re publicly reporting that they closed tickets and they’re suggesting that they’ve fixed the situation but that in fact is not the case at all,” she said. “They’re confusing the public.”

Stringer’s team reviewed Buildings Department boiler inspection data this week and found NYCHA boilers have a failure rate of 39.5% — five times worse than private sector buildings’ 7.9% rate.

“With temperatures in the single digits, these conditions jeopardize the health and safety of vulnerable residents and they must be rectified quickly,” he wrote in a letter to NYCHA Chairwoman Shola Olatoye.

In a letter to de Blasio demanding more funds to fix boilers, Torres noted that no-heat calls from NYCHA tenants were the most common complaints to Council offices containing public housing last week.

“The city needs a budget that will give relief to New Yorkers who have been left out in the cold,” he wrote. “You should deliver one.”
