NYCHA’s Office of Impartial Hearings Is Moving

Michael Corwin

NYCHA’s Office of Impartial Hearings (OIH) is moving to 803 Atlantic Avenue on June 14, 2019. The office will be open at this location on June 24, 2019. Scheduled hearings will begin at this location on July 8, 2019.

The OIH is moving as part of the Authority’s cost-savings initiative to consolidate central office locations. The overall consolidation initiative will save approximately $20 million annually in real estate costs.

Throughout 2019, staff from 250 Broadway, and a few other locations, will move into upgraded spaces at NYCHA’s 90 Church Street, Long Island City, and 787 Atlantic Avenue offices. To accommodate the consolidation, NYCHA will occupy approximately 6,800 square feet of additional space on the ground floor of 787 Atlantic Avenue (the same building as 803 Atlantic Avenue).

The new location houses a variety of social services and programs that residents from across the city already access regularly, including NYCHA’s Office of Resident Economic Empowerment & Sustainability (REES).

OIH hours:

Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

OIH phone numbers (active starting June 17):

718-218-1182
718-218-1184
