Newly surfaced documents reveal damning details about the scale and scope of what NYCHA knew of its serious lead issues in housing units with kids — all while Mayor Bill de Blasio downplayed the health crisis.
Local Health Department inspectors found lead in 222 NYCHA apartments across 93 developments — more than a quarter of all complexes citywide — between 2010 and 2018, according to records that City Hall only produced after The Post sued it under the state’s Freedom of Information Law.
Experts have said there is a high likelihood of finding lead in other apartments in a building where it has already been discovered.
Yet NYCHA was able to avoid making any repairs to 158 of the 222 lead-tainted apartments thanks to appeals to the city DOH, the documents show.

DiBlasio hates capitalism, New York, and America. Why would you expect him to help?
And he blames the President for all his failures just like CUOMO.
Remove the illegal graffiti in front of Trump Tower!
What ever happened to tar and feathers? Run him out of town.
Ted wheeler of Portland OR,
Mayor crackhead(light foot) of Chicago, IL
De blasio of nyc, NY
And maybe Steve Adler of Austin, TX
The worst mayors in the country. Evil people too...
Every single unit has the potential for lead poisoning. They could either privatize these units or they can just add a bit more money to their budget and paint over it. OR in the extreme tear down this stuff and build again.

Yeah, really. It's the very least that should be done with scum like this although a different form of "lead poisoning" would really be more appropriate to apply in this case. Until this happens such criminality will continue to plague the entire nation.
It's all president Trump's fault. He knew about this way before DeBlasio did and kept it a secret. As the worm turns.
And Today Bill de Blasio ruins Thanksgiving !

Bill DeBlasio is the worst mayor in American history.
Change My Mind...
Why do people who don't really want to be politicians run for office? I don't get it. Are they bored? They don't know what else to do in life? He also downplayed COVID before he did a 180. Does he just take what he's told verbatim and repeat it, or does he ask questions and do research on his own? Maybe he's afraid to say "I/we don't know yet"?
Maybe it's time to tear the projects down. They're ugly as fuck, a crime nest, and toxic to round it all out.
Also, elevated lead levels leads to lower intelligence and increased probability of criminal behavior in the future. So you're taking poor people who already have a higher than average risk of either being criminals or victims of criminals and making them and their kids even more likely to be antisocial. Great.
There's even theories that the Roman Empire fell because of the effects on the population of lead poisoning from their lead pipes.
Not much to expect from the dude, he is part of the commie party (ex-Democrats) their best candidate is causing a panic even in their own circles.

Have you noticed is always the same names?
Some of THEM are in charge and in power for decades.
Presidents come and go after 4/8 years, but not THEM!
Term limits now.
Is not a Democrat or Republican issue.
All of THEM are bought and paid for long time ago.
Time to retire all of THEM.
Now she slipped.

Since Joe can do his deals from the geriatric ward, make DeBlasio VP, so all the trash talking people who moved out of NY can feel the LOVE :) :) :)
@warp10
I happen to agree with you. Once of those rare times :)
Building something, teaching people to do something positive with the lives is much harder.
Takes years and the right people. All starts with the family. It doesn't take a village, it takes a solid family background. Now what have the powers to be destroyed? The family!
As George Carlin put it, they don't want smart people, educated people, because they afraid of them. Follow the money. Education? Is a joke! Prison industry needs constant supply of people.
Everything is about the money. Corrupt money that is.
So burning down anything is not the answer. Holding the politicos accountable for their actions is the answer. They come around every 4 years pandering, gaslighting the people they need the votes from. After the vote they couldn't care less about the same people.
Now that Jim Kramer is finished with Crazy Nancy he can start on De Blasio.
