Similar failures across the road at another public housing development are believed by residents to be due to crumbling infrastructure, exacerbated by damage after the storm. There, another 1,000 residents have been without cooking gas for nearly a year. https://t.co/eVpzhITugj — PolitiTweet.org

Hundreds have called on the city to restore cooking gas since construction broke ground on NYCHA’s Resilience and Recovery project in February. The project aims to replace damaged boilers and generators destroyed by Sandy, but has instead broken gas lines. https://t.co/eVpzhITugj — PolitiTweet.org

Delayed repairs, temporary fixes have continuously interrupted heat and, in some buildings, running water. Now, a decade-long remediation project is responsible for a cooking gas line break at one of the Coney Island's largest public housing complexes. https://t.co/eVpzhITugj — PolitiTweet.org
