HVAC system improvements have been highlighted as a major advance in serving older adult residents in NYC Aging programs.

The recommendations include significant enhancements to HVAC systems, specifically air conditioning, in centers.
These centers now serve as cooling centers, made possible by targeted council funding aimed at HVAC repairs.
Continuous efforts are underway to ensure all necessary HVAC repairs and upgrades are completed.
