Council Member Rita Joseph inquires about the frequency and process of lease terminations due to landlord non-compliance. Cora Liu from the School Construction Authority (SCA) provides limited information on this topic.

Lease terminations due to landlord non-compliance are not frequent occurrences.
Cora Liu does not have the total number of such terminations readily available.
One specific case of lease termination in Brooklyn is mentioned, where the program was successfully relocated to a better setup.
The council member requests that the total number of lease terminations be provided at a later time.
This exchange highlights the rarity of lease terminations and the SCA's ability to relocate programs when necessary.

There's one lease we terminated last year for a program in Brooklyn and working with York City Public School, we're able to relocate the program to a different location, and it's a better setup for the program.
