Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams wants to take legislative action so public housing officials can get necessary repairs to residences more effectively.

In a letter to New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Chairwoman Shola Olatoye, Adams and other elected officials requested the housing authorityto speed up needed replacements on public housing properties. Adams also wants Gov. Andrew Cuomo to pass legislation so that one contractor can design, build, and install an infrastructure project, streamlining and greatly speeding up the construction process, according to a press release.
