'''MALFUNCTION OF NYCHA: I’m Mad As Hell, & I Ain’t Taking It Anymore by Mthomasking'''

It has come to my attention that NYCHA’s Polices & procedures have changed. Up until two decade ago, I was very proud to be a tenant this community. Now, what I feel is dread, anger, and abused by our great landlord of this community. I am a long time resident, moving into MILLBROOK when I was twelve years old, My children are first generation of the NYCHA legacy that has been in existence more than forty years. Many different ethnic groups have lived in this once great community. In the thirty-two years, I’ve seen the deprecation of the administrative office & officers, maintenance, and tenants. No longer does NYCHA administrative officers feel they have a solid commitment to their tenants. No longer is there a tenant/landlord confidentiality, communication, respect or human concerns to the tenants of NYCHA. We the tenants have made it possible for the financial success of nycha, but, just like our government, they have failed us, too. I am bitter and very – very angry; for I have been treated with total disrespect and abuse by ‘my’ landlord’s henchmen /or women that are in charge. Incompetents, emergency time wait and services, electrical appliances and sockets, are just to name some of the issues that is disturbing, and been enduring for the past twenty years. When does it end and what assuredness that can be given by nycha that this will never happen again???? Exactly what I thought – none These concerns plague my thoughts for I’ve been silent for many years. Accepting the long time wait on emergency issues, the leaky faucet and refrigerator, dysfunctional stove, tiles, plastering holes, painting time of apartments, and the windows jamming. I’ve kept my cool when I was threatened with, on July 13th 2006 eviction, and almost lost my apartment due to the malfunction of the “lockbox”: non-payment of rent. I’ve waited for my closet doors, tiles, paint job and various other things needed in my home. No satisfaction or logical reasons how the type of un-professionalism shown to me and all of the tenants in the NYCHA Communities, throughout the Tri-State area. News flash, the last & only time I owed rent, my daughter was one and half years old! No longer will I sit and be silent. For three decades I’ve been silent, accepting the disrespect and abusive behavior from this huge slum landlord. Yes, I said it out loud: NYCHA slum landlord Taking the tenants of the NYCHA Communities for granted. Using our rent money for their own capital gain, leaving the tenants to endure the horrid conditions to live in. We have suffered long enough and silent I will not be. I address these issues to those who have the power to make changes in these matters: “We the Tenants” have the power to bring about change. “We the Tenants” should unite; one voice and demand changes in how we live. Hold back the rent, fill complaints on NYCHA to our Assemblyman, Borough President, Councilmen, Senators, Mayor, Governor, and the President. Hey, aren’t our votes the ones that put in office, so why aren’t they working for us? If all the tenants of the NYCHA communities throughout the tri-state areas become one annoying pain: change will come. We demand that NYCHA be accountable and acknowledge that: 1.  The Lock Box system does not working (malfunction) 2.  Why does our rent go to the middle of the country instead of Albany, NY? 3.  Better quality of electrical appliances (Refrigerator, stove) 4.  Emergencies repairs in the home, such as, leaks, stoppages: toilets, tubs, tiles, sinks, etc. be taken care of immediately. 5.  Shorter time wait for painting apartments (every two years), more of a variety and good quality paint. 6.  More respect to the maintenance crew and dedicated employees credit, a raise, and by           giving them upgraded equipment and help for their lifetime services & disrespect 7.  Respect to all the tenants from management employees in every NYCHA development throughout the tri-state area - Starting with "ME"!!! Recognize this - ‘Massa’– Slum Lord: “We the NYCHA Tenants” have kept your pockets fat over 50 years; so, get on 'your' job and get it right. Stop ‘misappropriating’ the funds that are meant for service and the upkeep of the many project developments ‘you’ people are running (not). Get a grip, stop the nonsense, and make it happen!!! Honor and acknowledge what everyone knows: that you’re the biggest slum lord of them all AND the 'Lock Box' has a glitch. Admit that the problem is a bad business call and fix it, Thank you.

So Listen Up: I'll be watching you-real, real, real close: I will be silent NO MORE!
