Council Member Banks inquires about snow removal responsibilities and enforcement in NYCHA properties, particularly RAD PACT converted developments. Acting Commissioner Lojan explains DSNY's approach to addressing snow removal issues in these areas.
- DSNY communicates with NYCHA about snow removal concerns
- DSNY can issue summons to NYCHA properties if necessary
- The primary goal is to ensure sidewalks are cleared for pedestrian safety

Well, specifically, when it comes to, like, the Radpac converted developments
Javier Lojan
0:36:24
Right.
Chris Banks
0:36:25
What's the communications with them?
0:36:26
Because I know they they tend to operate in their own silo Right.
0:36:30
When it comes to NYCHA.
Javier Lojan
0:36:32
So anytime we see a NYCHA property or a RADPAC, we we mention that to them as well.
0:36:39
We we we can issue summons to them.
0:36:42
Again, it's obviously, the goal is to get the sidewalks clear.
0:36:46
You know, look.
0:36:46
If we write a summons to them, it's the sidewalk still gonna be, you know, not clear for the pedestrian.
0:36:52
So the goal is to get it cleared.
0:36:54
But but that is something that we do mention to to NYCHA on these calls, and we communicate to them once we get these completed.
