Tenants drowning in NYCHA neglect

Yellow ooze. Collapsing cabinets. Water spraying out of a pipe, visible thanks to a hole in the wall. Incessant mold.

Tenants at the Bushwick Houses in Brooklyn detailed shocking conditions at the complex and complaints of staggering neglect by the scandal-scarred New York City Housing Authority on Friday as elected officials rallied to demand urgent repairs.

“You get out of bed to use the bathroom . . . and you just step in it,” said Joshua Torres, 27, who lives in the public housing complex.

Another tenant, Natonia Dutes, 43, had a similar story: “Once it rains, it rains in my living room. Literally.”

The list of horrors in her apartment included a rotted-out bathroom, where she said a NYCHA repairman told her to replace the sink herself.

“As elected officials, we feel helpless in telling [tenants]: ‘Put your tickets in, the repairs will come,’ ” said Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. “That system does not work.”

Said a NYCHA spokeswoman: “Our dedicated staff works 24/7 to address issues caused by crumbling infrastructure due to decades of disinvestment.”
