What Kinds of Problems Can Cause a NYCHA Case?

There are plenty of different problems that can lead to the development of an NYCHA case. Some disputes that we often help solve include:

Issues with repairs or maintenance: As a tenant, you have a right to a safe and habitable environment. This means that when something breaks around your apartment or your building, the NYCHA is responsible for fixing it. When the housing authority dawdles and does not fix a problem with the utilities or repair damage to your apartment, then it’s time to pursue an NYCHA case.

Late rent and evictions: The NYCHA can try to evict you if you have not paid the rent, participated in criminal activity, or otherwise violated your lease terms. You can also face eviction for late rent, if you frequently pay late. This is true even if you are all caught up on what you owe! We will do our best to defend you from accusations of wrongdoing and prevent you from being evicted.

Who can take over a lease: If you are trying to pass on your apartment to someone else, there are specific protocols and rules about that. We can help you do things the right way and avoid a NYCHA case.

A lack of accommodations: The NYCHA has to make reasonable accommodations for tenants when possible. So if you are someone who uses a wheelchair and lives in public housing, you should expect your building to offer things like wheelchair ramps and a working elevator.
