Comptroller to Examine How NYCHA Spends City Capital Funds
The NYC Comptroller’s Office will investigate how city funding for NYCHA is being doled out on capital projects.
The probe is the third selected by public housing tenants who serve on the comptroller’s NYCHA Resident Audit Committee, and will examine the $3.18 billion in city money included the housing authority’s capital plan for fiscal years 2024-2028, which funds infrastructure upgrades and major repairs.
“We want to have transparency,” said Rev. Carmen Hernandez, a longtime tenant at NYCHA’s 1471-73 Watson Ave. who heads the resident council there and serves on the comptroller’s audit committee. “Each development should know where the money that’s coming to their development [is] and [what’s to] be fixed.”
