Council Member Chris Banks scrutinizes the content of NYCHA's PACT impact report required under Local Law 65, pointing out several areas where the report appears to be incomplete or non-compliant. NYCHA officials maintain that they believe they have complied with all requirements but agree to follow up on the concerns raised.
- Council Member Banks identifies several required elements that appear to be missing from the report, including dates of PACT selection, languages of outreach materials, and details of NYCHA's oversight
- NYCHA officials assert that the report is compliant but agree to have a follow-up meeting to go through the report in detail
- There is disagreement over whether the report fully complies with Local Law 65 requirements
- NYCHA commits to providing clarification and potentially improving future reports based on the feedback received
Chris Banks
3:27:07
Okay.
3:27:08
The report hold on.
3:27:11
Let me I want to walk through some of the requirements of local law 65 and where they might be met or not be met.
3:27:23
In the first PAC report, the report must include the date each PAC development was selected for inclusion in PAC, where in the report it states this information.
3:27:38
Those columns refer to PAC project name, NYCHA consolidation name, NYCHA development name, where in those columns can I find a date that each pack development was selected for inclusion in the pack?
Jonathan Gouveia
3:27:58
I believe we do.
3:27:59
And again, we will send you the link so that you have it and you can see all the information.
3:28:04
But I think we've complied with all the requirements.
Chris Banks
3:28:06
Okay.
3:28:07
The report must also include languages that outreach materials were available in each PAC development.
3:28:19
Where in the report is it that is that information?
Jonathan Gouveia
3:28:24
Same answer.
3:28:25
I mean the full there's a report and then there's a couple of appendices that has, you know, what we think is responsive to the request.
Chris Banks
3:28:44
So the the letters that that is reported in the particular report doesn't provide for that in the columns.
3:28:52
So can you walk us through that?
Jonathan Gouveia
3:28:56
I mean we can follow-up with you.
Chris Banks
3:29:01
Report is not in front of you?
3:29:03
I
Jonathan Gouveia
3:29:04
have a report here but they are not columns named so I can't really walk it through with you.
Chris Banks
3:29:13
Well this is the report we have right here and it clearly states the date such development was selected for inclusion.
3:29:22
It goes through the requirements.
3:29:25
Am I correct?
Jonathan Gouveia
3:29:27
Yes.
Chris Banks
3:29:50
The columns on a report, it's it's it's it's basically blank.
3:29:55
There's no names as to what's in these particular columns.
3:30:00
Councilmember
Brian Honan
3:30:03
So, councilmember, we provided the committee the report before it was even on the same day that it was published online.
3:30:11
So, just want to make it clear that there was no you know, we were not hiding anything here.
3:30:16
If you want to go over the details of the report, we'd be happy to, set up a meeting with you and committee, you know, to go over that, and, and walk it through.
3:30:26
And if there's things that you think that in the next report would be helpful in order to, you know, make it better, we'd we'd we'd like to hear you out.
Chris Banks
3:30:37
Well, I I think we gotta point this out that the report stated in the law that the report must include languages of outreach materials in in each PAC development.
3:30:53
That's not available.
3:31:02
The report also says that they must include outreach that NYCHA conducted before and during the conversions of the PAC development.
3:31:10
That's not listed.
3:31:12
The report must include NYCHA's oversight of the development partner or property manager for the PAC development.
3:31:19
That's not there.
3:31:23
The report must also include outreach for the nights you conducted before and during the conversions of each pack development.
3:31:31
Where on the report is that information?
Jonathan Gouveia
3:31:37
Again, I'm not sure what you're looking at, but we have the report.
3:31:40
We can have a meeting and go through the report with you.
3:31:43
We think we've been
Chris Banks
3:31:44
responsible You know, this report is public and folks can read and assess as they read, But it doesn't seem like the report is in full compliance with the law.
Jonathan Gouveia
3:31:57
I think we disagree.
Chris Banks
3:31:59
Well, we would love to hear your position in those holes that we actually pointed out so we can get an accurate report.
3:32:10
The report oh, there's another one.
3:32:13
The report also says it must include the breakdown of the course and time it took to complete repairs and upgrades following the conversions at each pack development including, but not limited to, work to address environmental hazards.
3:32:28
Where in the report is that information as well?
Jonathan Gouveia
3:32:33
It's the same answer again.
3:32:34
I have a report here, and I don't know if you're looking at the same thing, but appendix a to your specific question right now has that information.
Chris Banks
3:32:44
Okay.
3:32:47
We'll move on to the comptroller's office and their report audit.
3:33:11
Okay.
3:33:13
I believe we've asked every question.
3:33:18
I don't know if we got every question answered.
3:33:21
We're hoping to get information or get some clarity on the report that you're required to release, and actually hopefully find the report wherever you said you released it or you claim that it's at.
3:33:35
Hopefully, get some clarification on where the report is at.
3:33:37
Again, thank you so much for your time and your patience.
3:33:42
Hopefully we can get those follow-up responses.
3:33:45
Have a good day.
Jonathan Gouveia
3:33:46
Thank you.
