Council Member Chris Banks inquires about the role of Tenant Associations in implementing Section 3 and oversight of RAD/PACT converted developments. NYCHA's representative explains the engagement process and compliance measures.
- Tenant Associations are involved in discussions about Section 3 throughout capital projects
- Pre-construction kickoff meetings include resident leaders and focus on job opportunities
- RAD/PACT conversions require Section 3 compliance for renovation work
- NYCHA works with resident leadership to field local candidates for job opportunities in RAD/PACT projects

And as far as engagement with the TAs, what role do the tenant associations play with living out the section three?
3:01:15
And then also two, separate question, but I'm gonna give this to you as well.
3:01:21
As far as the RAD PAC converted developments, when it comes to section three, how do you provide oversight over that and and have them comply to hiring local residents?
Shaan Mavani
3:01:36
Sure.
3:01:37
I can talk to both points.
3:01:38
So on the section nine side and the other type of vendor contracts we have, for example, the capital projects that I oversee at the throughout that typical capital project, section three may be a discussion topic.
3:01:53
We engage with residents from the point of planning and scoping throughout the architecture engineering design phase, throughout procurement, and then when we get to construction.
3:02:02
Now those opportunities are typically coming in the construction phase.
3:02:05
So at the beginning of the construction phase before anything physical starts, several months before, we bring the vendor on-site.
3:02:12
We have what we call a preconstruction kickoff.
3:02:14
Resident leader is there, other resident board members can be there.
3:02:18
One of the main topics of discussion is what are the specific job opportunities on this contract, how will we match and field candidates who are from that property or from other properties who may be qualified to take up those job opportunities so that the vendor can plan on filling those roles through section three hiring.
