Last week, 53 coney Island public housing residents took NYCHA to court about no cooking gas and general maintenance grievances.
Strolling down the boardwalk, Sophia Williams rattles off what she loves about living in Coney Island. She’s waterfront, with room to take long walks and enough quiet to enjoy New York City in retirement. There’s a semi-unobstructed view of the Manhattan skyline from her place and she lives on a street co-named after her late husband, Robert “Mr. Lou” Williams. But there’s a problem. Williams and her neighbors haven’t gotten cooking gas for over half a year.
“You can’t prepare a meal for a family with a hot plate, one little hot plate is not going to do it,” said Williams, who serves as vice chair of her tenant association. “Because a meal consists of more than one item, you don’t want to spend seven hours, and you only have two items to prepare for that meal. That’s the biggest problem.cooker. Very slow.”
“I know sometimes we have a problem with the elevator,” she said. “I go to physical therapy, sometimes I can’t get there because the elevators are not working. And they prefer me not to go down the stairs if I’m by myself.”The tenants are represented by Brooklyn Legal Services Corporation A. The organization says this is their third such lawsuit against NYCHA this year. Director Kristie Ortiz-Lam recalls both previous cases were resolved shortly after litigation began.
She also mentions there are residents the organization represents who pay upwards of $2,200 a month for NYCHA housing due to higher income.
