Council Member Chris Banks inquires about the security coverage at NYCHA senior developments, including the number of developments with 24-hour security and the communication of security schedules to residents.

  • Only one building currently has 24-hour security coverage
  • The remaining 52 buildings have either 16 or 18 hours of coverage
  • NYCHA works with property management and TA presidents to determine preferred security times
  • Direct communication of security schedules to all residents is not currently implemented
  • NYCHA acknowledges the importance of better communicating schedules and plans to implement this with new contracts
