NYCHA steps up evictions: report
NEW YORK (PIX11) -- NYCHA is struggling with thousands of tenants not paying their rent, according to reports, and is now stepping up efforts to evict delinquent tenants.
According to the publication "The CITY," NYCHA evicted 62 households in the first quarter of this year, compared to 58 evictions in 2023.
Most of those tenants relied on the COVID-19 rent moratorium to pay their rent, which ended in January 2022, according to The City.
As of right now, NYCHA is only looking to evict tenants with serious rent delays.
PIX11 News reached out to NYCHA for comment but did not hear back.
