A couple living in a Port Morris NYCHA building says their bathroom is in complete disrepair.
Samantha Lombardi and Tyrell West say the bathroom inside of their NYCHA unit on E. 137TH Street is missing a wall and even has multiple water leaks caused by other units in the building.
The couple says two of their three children have developed illnesses because of the mold and water.
Lombardi says she cannot leave her home in fear of major flooding.
A NYCHA spokesperson commented by saying, "This is absolutely unacceptable and we [are] working urgently to make sure this resident has a safe, clean home. Our staff is reaching out to schedule repairs as soon as possible."
