Lisa Bova-Hiatt discusses the eviction rates and processes in NYCHA and RAD/PACT properties, emphasizing that evictions are a last resort for both entities.
- In January 2025, NYCHA executed 15 evictions, while RAD/PACT partners executed 10
- The court system backlog affects eviction processes
- For NYCHA's 67 non-payment cases filed in January 2025, the average amount owed was $60,875

And just going to your question about evictions, both NYCHA and the PACT partners have an incentive to keep people housed.
2:20:58
So evictions are really a last resort.
2:21:03
But I will say that in 2025, NYCHA has executed 15 evictions evictions so far as of the January.
2:21:14
Our PACT partners have executed 10 evictions, nine non payment and one holdover.
2:21:26
What time period?
2:21:27
That was just for the month of January.
Erik Botcher
2:21:30
So in the month of January across the 30 how many units have been converted so far?
Lisa Bova-Hiatt
2:21:39
Hold on.
2:21:40
At over 24,000.
Erik Botcher
2:21:43
20 four thousand.
2:21:44
There were 10 citywide and and nine of the 10 were for non payments.
2:21:50
Correct.
2:21:51
And why would those nine be evicted for nonpayment versus ostensibly there's quite a few others that are behind as well?
Lisa Bova-Hiatt
2:22:03
Well, so we
Erik Botcher
2:22:05
I mean the number is low.
2:22:07
To me that's
Lisa Bova-Hiatt
2:22:07
The number is incredibly low.
Erik Botcher
2:22:09
But I'm just like, what are the circumstances Well,
Lisa Bova-Hiatt
2:22:12
I think when you look and I also have the numbers if you're interested for 2024, '20 '20 '3, and 2022.
2:22:21
We are all beholden to the court system.
2:22:24
There is an incredible backlog in landlord tenant court.
2:22:31
I will say that in January 2025, the average amount owed for the 67 non payment cases that NYCHA filed, the amount owed was $60,875 That's in stark contrast to the number that we were talking about for people who for the most part were not rent delinquent prior to COVID and then incurred substantial arrears because of the pandemic.
