NYCHA officials explain the unique supervision and management structure for the heating system at Red Hook Houses, given its high-pressure steam plant.
- Red Hook Houses has a dedicated supervisor due to its high-pressure steam plant
- The property has additional staff assigned because of the plant's different regulations
- A new position is being filled for on-site supervision of the heating plant
- The heating system is described as a 'microgrid' with both geographic and on-site supervision

Understood.
2:09:23
Yeah.
2:09:23
So every every supervisor, has its own.
2:09:26
So Red Hook is an interesting is an interesting plant.
2:09:29
So every supervisor has between, you know, an average of 5 properties.
2:09:33
Right?
2:09:33
One day a week, they can visit every single one.
2:09:37
And Red Hook is an interesting property in that because it's a high pressure steam plant and has different regulations, we've actually hired an additional number of staff.
2:09:45
So there is a supervisor assigned, just to hook in the stationary plant because it's a high pressure plant.
2:09:52
So, that position is being filled currently.
2:09:57
That plan is also being placed online currently.
2:10:00
So we have staff there now learning the system from the the contractor who built it.
2:10:05
And like I said, it's its own kind of, microgrid that is overseen by not only a, heating superintendent that is responsible for a geographic area, but has on-site supervision because of the size and the scope.
