Council Member Chris Banks inquires about NYCHA's approach to handling developments that transition to private management during ongoing upgrades or resiliency work. NYCHA representative Gillian Connell explains the division of responsibilities between NYCHA and private management.
- After closing, the property manager and PACT partners are primarily responsible for the development
- NYCHA maintains an oversight role in various areas
- Additional resiliency initiatives can occur after initial construction, such as the $50 million project at Hope Gardens/Bushwick Gardens to elevate boilers

How does NYCHA handle cases where NYCHA developments transition to private management during your ongoing regularization upgrades or other resiliency work?
Gillian Connell
1:17:36
Right.
1:17:36
So I was just speaking to some of the capital improvements that the pact partner commences immediately after closing, which you're well aware of, but there are other resiliency, initiatives that can occur.

Siobhan was also talking about at Hope Gardens Bushwick Gardens, which was after the construction was complete, additional CDBG Doctor funds were, deployed to the tune of $50,000,000 to elevate the boilers, which had been in the basements to above ground structures.
