Planned NYCHA HQ move leaves some tenants in dark
This story was originally published on May 17 by THE CITY.
The New York City Housing Authority is shifting eviction hearings from lower Manhattan to Brooklyn — but tenants and attorneys say there’s been little notice of the change.
Beginning June 24, the authority’s Office of Impartial Hearings will operate in Brooklyn at 787 Atlantic Ave., near the Barclays Center, handling cases of tenants facing eviction for late rent payments or problematic conduct. The ailing agency is leaving its longtime offices at 250 Broadway to save money.
