Show Notes
Over six hundred NYCHA apartments were taken over by squatters, leaving hundreds of thousands on the waiting list for affordable homes. NYCHAs lax inspections and generic locks created security risks, with some units used for illegal activity. Since 2023, NYCHA has cleared out squatters with police assistance, reclaiming 635 apartments and making 81 arrests. NYCHA has agreed to implement fixes, including unique locks and monthly inspections, to ensure safer housing.
