My refrigerator has been out of order since sunday july 9, 2006. I called the work ticket number [protected]. I filed the complaint on monday july 7, 2006 the maintenace worker came by and told me the freezer had too much ice and to defrost it for 24 hours by leaving the freezer door open.

I had to take all of my meat to my neighbor and leave my milk, eggs etc in the frigerator. The maitenance worker said that the food in the frigerator would be ok as long as I left the door open. I have a five year old daughter. How can you keep a child from milk and things like that but I did it and waited the 24 hours. Unfortunately the refrigerator still didnt work.

On july 11, 2006 I called the work ticket center back which is suppose to be an emergency. I was told that someone would be there the next morining between 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. It is now 2:07 pm and no one has showed I called the work ticket program and they stated that I had to now wait 24 hours before someone will come out. It is a hot and humid day I cannot give my daughter cold water, ice or anything else.

My name is michelle

I live in public housing. My address is jewel ave, flushing ny. The work ticket number is 0257sss, it was called in on 7/11/06 at 4:47 pm. Is there someone or agency you can refer me too? I know if I go another day like this all the food I have left will go bad. Can you help?

My mother is elderly and her refridgerator has been broken since june 30th. and a maintenance worker came by to tell her that he would be back before 4:pm that day and never showed up! who is going to pay for all the food that was destroyed since then?
this is inhumane that the elderly have to put up with inexperienced workers, and moreover inexperienced housing workers.
what if it were their mothers ?

My name is Paula yesterday 05/30/10 appox @ 1:00 p.m. I called the call center to report that my refrigerator was working ticket # [protected] now mind
you yesterday was 0ver 80 degrees. I was told a 24 hr ticket would be put in for repair. I called back later to
double check and I was well what about my food the resposnse was don't you have a cooler. Today 0531/10
@ appox 7:00 a.m. I started calling the call center no help at I constently kept calling since today is a holiday
and some workers go home early. All I got was no assistance, was to that they sent some to my mangement
office which they are closed today, and if they where open
thats a lost cause too I live in South Jamaica Houses and
mangement is awful. It is now 8:50 p.m. no one has came to fix my refridgeator and I had to to throw more food out I receive ssi and I'm on a budget but do think that nycha cares that I had to throw my food out hell no.
But if no one shows up here tommorrow to fix my refridgerator mark my words if I have try to contact the
mayor myself I will because I am totally pissed off its bad
enough when you put in a ticket they give a date several
months away some appts are for the next year. That's not acceptable they want their rent money so why can't the tenants get repairs done when needed.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but housing will never fix or replace a stove, refrigerator, or any appliance they need to. After my apt was infested with mice, I got rid of the mice but needed a new stove because the mice had dropped feces and bore holes in the stove. So after a month of going back and forth with NYCHA, I sacrificed and bought my own stove. For my own piece of mind. They had the nerve to tell me to clean it out with soap. Sometimes you can get a fridge for $300 bucks, and that just might be what you would have to do. So now every time a maintenance worker comes to fix something they look at my oven and fridge and ask me where they came from, and I am like I bought them. They seem to think that just because you live in NYCHA that you are poor, broke, and uneducated. I happened to not want to pay $1600 rent, when I can live somewhere for a 1/4 of that price.

I live in St Nicholas Housing with 2 little children we have been living with a nonworking refrigerator for now two weeks. I called the 718 number on Friday December 18th, nobody showed up until tuesday december 22nd I found a piece of paper saying that maintenance came. I was so made because someone was inside the appt and no one heard when the worker knocked at the door. I lost a lot of food. Those people are a bunch of liars they don't respect the tenants. I'm paying almost $1600 for the appt and I can't get service. Still today December 27th I'm living with no refrigerator, I call them every other day and they give an emergency for within 24hours, they still don't show up until now.

When it's rain the water that collects on roof comes into my bedroom through the walls and under the tiles. Floor tiles are cracked and has holes. Window pain has a hole, where small creatures (bugs) seep out from outside. Paint peeling and bubbling from access water build up. This has been going on for 3 years and main office knows the situation.

I Jessica reside pay rent on time and don't even be in my apartment do to my son's condition and he receives services else where where I'm trying to relocate . I sought out a transfer request and I'm thinking it's been processed and it's been sitting in Fredreich Samuels desk for 2 nearly 2months. This is ridiculous. First took them 5 months just so I can get a copy of my lease. I'm asking for help where I can go whom I can speak too the traveling everyday just so he can received his education and visit his therapists his mental health is hassle everyday.

This is not a surprise no wonder when tenants call for a new refrigerator or cabinet they don’t have because workers from Nycha managers and all they steal them . I’m from Vladeck housing located in Manhattan 10002. I been with out a refrigerator for 2 weeks and when I made the ticket they came and told me they don’t have a refrigerator for me or any backup emergency to help and I have to wait till they can provide me for one . I’m a mother with 2 kids I work pay my rent and also attend to school . I had to throw away all my groceries . I’m a week away for my kids to go back to school and had to pay for their school supplies and uniform and now I have to figure out how to get a refrigerator . Is shame that people like this take advantage and the city doesn’t do anything about it .

Why am i allowed to live in housing not on lease but wont give me an apartment. I lived in nycha 12years not on lease paying lease owner 350 a month. Not reported. Once i was forced out i made a complaint. Even mailed keys to management. And nothing happened to lease owner. So we all now know u can make money off of your NYCHA APartment

I have call the management as well as the emergency contact of [protected] . They said is nothing they can do. There is no paper nor email to say there is any problem. NYCHA has not send any to address this issue. It’s the whole complex that has no services. It the Claremont and Franklin complex.
