A
Brooklyn mother says she has had to deal with crumbled ceilings, mold along the walls and constant leaks
in her apartment bathroom.
“I was
using the bathroom and pieces started falling on my head,” said Antonette
Lewis, who has lived in Rutland Towers for more than 10 years. “When I use the
bathroom, I got to sit down and watch over my head, that's no... and
then how am I supposed to bathe my 2-year-old?"
Over
the last year, Lewis says she’s been dealing with damages in both her
bathrooms, from fallen debris on the floor to paint bubbles forming in the
ceiling.
Lewis
says she’s called NYCHA customer service multiple times, but her tickets are
getting closed out without her receiving help.
News
12 reached out to NYCHA and it
says it has visited the apartment multiple times to assess the issue
and have plumbers scheduled to repair waste pipes in the unit above Lewis’
apartment, which it says are causing the leaks.
