The Deputy Commissioner explains that NYCDOT is generally aware of sidewalk conditions on NYCHA property.
- NYCDOT responds to complaints about specific properties more quickly.
- Each year, NYCDOT works with NYCHA to identify properties with the worst sidewalk conditions.
- NYCDOT and NYCHA coordinate to include those properties in the sidewalk reconstruction program for that year.
- Both agencies identify properties they want addressed and repairs are made accordingly.

However, when we get complaints, that will draw us to a property quicker However, every year, we work with the housing authority to identify the the properties that have the worst conditions and we put them in our program for reconstruction for that construction year.

So the housing authority they identify properties that they wanna get taken care of.

And our team, we also identify properties that we would like to get take care of as well.

And so every year, we do coordinate to do repairs to housing authority properties.
