Love Where You Live
NYCHA is proud to launch Love Where You Live, a campaign to encourage residents to work together with the Authority to make their developments cleaner and safer places, where residents are proud to live and employees are proud to work.
Residents can take actions big and small, such as disposing of household trash and bulk waste (mattresses and furniture) in the proper place, recycling, or picking up after their dogs.
In a new pilot program, NYCHA has installed trash bins designed for doggy waste and free waste bags at Stapleton Houses in Staten Island and Van Dyke Houses in Brooklyn. Bins are also scheduled to be installed at Patterson Houses in the Bronx. NYCHA has held resident meetings about the new bins and posted flyers reminding residents that it’s the law to pick up after pets.
In addition, the MyNYCHA app has been updated to provide residents the opportunity to create work orders for issues in their building’s common areas, such as large amounts of trash, improperly discarded furniture and other bulk items on development grounds and more, all from the convenience of their computer or mobile device, any time of day or night. Working together, NYCHA and its residents can build safer, cleaner, and more connected communities.
