A Bronx woman says she’s lived with leaks, dust and unfinished repairs in her NYCHA apartment for years.

Maria Acevedo says she has filed multiple complaints and now sleeps in her living room due to worsening conditions.

She says she’s tired of cleaning and making temporary fixes with her own money.

NYCHA says staff visited her unit and plan to inspect the apartment above to trace the leak.

Environmental testing is scheduled for next week as they work to address her concerns.

"NYCHA encourages residents in need of assistance to call the Customer Contact Center at 718-707-7771 or submit work tickets through the MyNYCHA application," NYCHA said in a statement.
