Today, the NYCHA Federal Monitor issued a report on NYCHA’s pest management efforts. This report focuses on the two greatest obstacles NYCHA faces to improve its pervasive pest infestation problems: i) having staff and vendors consistently perform proper and thorough levels of pest extermination and related remediation work, and ii) overcoming excessive clutter and other resident unit conditions that inhibit workers from being able to effectively perform this work. The report also includes initiatives that the Waste Management Department is doing to improve waste management services at developments.
