Suquaia Grant says she's without kitchen cabinets because NYCHA never finished repairing them. Grant, a resident of the Gravesend Houses, says NYCHA said she was due for new kitchen cabinets. She says they were ripped out last week and was told it wouldn't be replaced until the end of April. Grant says her kitchen supplies are now scattered across her apartment. She says management has given her the runaround, adding that is something she is used to, but is afraid how long it will go on. "How many phone calls do I have to make just to make sure that I am living, like, at the barest minimum, comfortable?" said Grant. NYCHA released the following statement: "NYCHA staff visited the resident today and are following up with next steps to address any concerns. NYCHA encourages residents in need of assistance to call the Customer Contact Center at 718-707-7771 or submit work tickets through the MyNYCHA application." Shortly after News 12's visit, NYCHA said it visited Grant's home and is now looking into next steps.
