New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer has called for the mayor to come clean on the city’s handling—or rather mishandling—of lead paint in its public housing, and has vowed to take a hard look at how the various agencies responsible for public housing in the city are communicating with one another.
Speaking to on Fox 5’s “Good Day New York,” Stringer, whose office announced Sunday it was opening an investigation into the matter, said that city agencies weren’t communicating with each other to remove lead in children’s environments in public housing, and said he will be taking a hard look at the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), the Health Department, and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
