Preventative Maintenance Scheduled for 27 Developments
During the week of July 6, 27 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.
This maintenance includes cleaning, lubricating, adjusting, repairing, and replacing work components and ensuring equipment and mechanical areas are in satisfactory operating condition. Preventative maintenance typically happens during warmer months and affects boilers for both heat and hot water, hot water heaters, and vacuum tanks.
