State provides $3 million for improvements at Marlboro Houses
Tenants at the Marlboro Houses will be getting new stoves and refrigerators under a $3 million package of state funding obtained by two lawmakers whose districts intersect at the Gravesend apartment complex.
Assemblymembers Steven Cymbrowitz (D-Sheepshead Bay-Gravesend) and William Colton (D-Gravesend-Bensonhurst) announced the funding at a joint press conference on March 3.
The Marlboro Houses is a New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) development built in 1958 that contains 28 buildings spread over 34.8 acres. There are 1,765 apartments within the development. The complex is bounded by Avenue V, Avenue X, 86th Street and Stillwell Avenue.
