Inside City Hall with Errol Louis

ree

Dozens of older New Yorkers living in a public housing complex in Chelsea are fearful for their future after receiving a 90-day notice to move out of their building, which only houses senior citizens.

The 90-day vacate orders were distributed as the city’s Public Housing Authority seeks to demolish and modernize two buildings from the Fulton and Elliot-Chelsea Houses.

The new facilities will serve residents of all ages, but will contain consecutive floors just for seniors.

City officials say more than two dozen residents have already signed up to move into these units, which will keep them on the same Chelsea campus that they currently call home.

Renee Keitt, Elliott-Chelsea Houses Tenant Association president, and Layla Law-Gisiko, a district leader in Assembly District 75, which includes Chelsea, joined “Inside City Hall” to discuss the concerns among some residents.
