An abrupt gas outage at a Harlem public housing complex will now stretch into the summer, forcing residents of 226 apartments to cook on hot plates for at least the next six months.
Roxana Gonzalez-Martinez, a bridal stylist who has lived in her Grant Houses apartment for five years, said she has come to expect lengthy outages. She said she got her first taste of the problem when NYCHA cut the gas for three months in July 2021 and her husband, a lifelong Grant Houses resident, warned her that outages tend to drag on.A few days ago, NYCHA staff began distributing hot plates again.
“Going three months with a hot plate was brutal,” Gonzalez-Martinez said. “Now it’s more than six months and I’m beside myself.” “Service restoration work is a matter of public safety that involves multiple partners and steps,” Gomes said.“We’re still in the dark as to why this is going to take seven months,” Abreu said. “We need answers now and we need gas now.”
