Lawmakers and public housing tenants gathered on the steps of City Hall on Tuesday, demanding NYCHA do more to improve living conditions throughout the city. KevRincon heard from tenants who say they've been living without basic necessities.
CBS2's Kevin Rincon heard from tenants who say they've been living without basic necessities like heat and hot water."It's gross. It's nasty. July, August, September, no refrigerator, no stove. I take them my receipts, they want to credit me. I'm on social security. I can't eat credit," NYCHA tenant Chanel White said.
"If you have to deal with this every morning, that kills your spirit. It makes people not want to do. It makes people give up," NYCHA tenant Sabura Abdur said. NYCHA says,"These deteriorating buildings are the direct result of decades of disinvestment by all levels of government." But Kavanaugh says there's simple things that can be done with the resources available that aren't being addressed.
