NYCHA Rent Procedure Updates for Hurricane Sandy-Affected Residents
The New York City Housing Authority has authorized a rent abatement, which will credit residents for any days of the month in which residents were without essential services (electric, elevators, heat, or water) because of Hurricane Sandy storm damage. NYCHA – from Nov. 15, 2012 to Feb. 1, 2013 - will not start any new housing court actions or perform evictions for residents in developments affected by Sandy except for criminal acts or other exceptional cases.
