Allerton woman says NYCHA neglect caused health issues

"

Delia Burkes, a NYCHA tenant in Allerton, says mold and structural damage in her apartment is affecting her and her family’s health. She says the issues still persist, despite filing multiple repair requests. “I’ve been having seizures in this house, never had seizures before,” Burkes said. Her daughter, who recently had a baby, is planning to leave for a shelter due to safety concerns. NYCHA told News 12 that it is working with Burkes to schedule mold cleaning, painting and ceiling repairs. "
