NEW YORK CITY—Gov. Andrew Cuomo, after touring units at the Andrew Jackson Houses public housing complex in the Bronx today, termed the conditions there as “disgusting,” “intolerable” and “the most egregious I have ever seen.”
The governor at a press conference at the New York City Housing Authority complex said he will be meeting with city council leaders in Albany tomorrow seeking specific recommendations from Mayor Bill de Blasio's office and the city council to help improve conditions at the Andrew Jackson Houses and other NYCHA operated sites.
“The situation we have seen is as upsetting and disturbing as anything I have seen anywhere and I have been through public housing all across this country,” said the former HUD Secretary. He termed the conditions at the Andrew Jackson Houses as a “pure case of neglect.”
