Preventative Maintenance Scheduled for 21 Developments

During the week of July 20, 21 NYCHA developments will experience planned hot water outages for annual preventative maintenance.  

Annual preventative maintenance is important for the health and safety of NYCHA residents because it helps preserve heating equipment and infrastructure. Due to COVID-19, this important maintenance was delayed. Preventative maintenance typically happens during warmer months and affects boilers for both heat and hot water, hot water heaters, and vacuum tanks. 

NYCHA has 58 planned hot water outages scheduled for the following developments: 

• July 20, 2020 – Pink Houses, Johnson Houses, Robinson Houses, Wagner Houses, Unity Plaza, Stapleton Houses, and Lincoln Houses 

• July 21, 2020 – Pink Houses, Audobon Houses, Metro North Plaza, Jefferson Houss, Elliott Houses, Cypress Hills Houses, Haber Houses, Pomonok Houses, Red Hook East Houses, Unity Plaza, 1471 Watson Avenue, and Rangel Houses 
  
  
• July 22, 2020 – Pink Houses, Robinson Houses, Taft Houses, Pomonok Houses, Gowanus Houses, Unity Plaza, Woodside Houses, and Bronx River Houses 
  
  
• July 23, 2020 – Pink Houses, Pomonok Houses, Unity Plaza, and Woodside Houses 
  
  
• July 24, 2020 –  Cypress Hills Houses and Woodside Houses 

Residents at each of the affected developments have been notified of the planned outages through robocalls and signs and posters at their developments. The average length of these outages is approximately eight hours. Information about outages is also posted on NYCHA’s Outage Dashboard and social media channels.
