Breukelen Houses residents: Scaffolding up for years

People who live in the Breukelen Houses in Canarsie are angry over scaffolding that has been outside their homes for years.
Residents who live at the NYCHA housing complex say they have heard all sorts of reasons why the scaffolding went up, but since being installed, no one has come to make any repairs.
Residents also noted that construction crews began putting up more scaffolding last week. They say it's so the Housing Authority can do work on the roof of one of the buildings.
However, judging from past experiences, people who live there say they don't expect that work to get done any time soon.
