Can I Get A Lawsuit against NYCHA?

April 24, 2019

Question

I Put a Ticket In, in February For a Messed Up wall outlet that had exposed Wires. Now here we are in April the outlet Blew Up and Burned My 2 Year Olds Right Foot. Help

Answer

You gave them a written request to fix this problem before someone got hurt. They didn't respond, and now it's happened. A classic case. You need to act quickly - with all City cases, a Notice of Claim needs to be filed within 90 days. Take photos of the child's foot, and the exposed outlet. Try to get the hospital record. My experience v.s NYCHA is that they are aware of the many problems they have and may be willing to settle out of court.
