The administrator with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development is currently staying in a NYCHA complex in the Bronx.
Lynne Patton is staying at the Patterson Houses in Mott Haven with a host family for five days.
She will then stay at three other complexes as part of her full month visit.
Patton posted a video Monday night shortly after arriving at the Patterson Houses, having a pizza party with her host family.
She also posted another video doing what looks to be a Zumba class.
Earlier Tuesday morning, she posted a video showing the conditions of a bathtub somewhere in the complex, with the caption "cannot wait to tell you about my night... But first let’s see if the hot water works."
