Thousands of NYCHA residents face sudden water outages
More than 7,000 NYCHA residents across the city were without hot water — or, in some cases, any water at all — Thursday morning as the agency grappled with unplanned outages in 35 buildings across 11 developments, some of which started as early as Monday.
Buildings within the Bay View, Coney Island, Red Hook and Howard Houses were all experiencing unplanned outages as of 8 a.m. on Thursday, according to NYCHA’s website, leaving more than 3,000 Brooklyn residents without hot water, and at least another 1,400 without water at all.
According to the agency, another 1,400 residents at the Gravesend Houses are without water as part of the only planned outage on record.
