NYCHA Recovery and Resilience Red Hook Houses Update

When: Jul 5-Aug 5, 2022

Where: NYCHA Red Hook Houses

The New York City Housing Authority is building back safer, stronger and smarter by improving structural resiliency and infrastructure protection at Red Hook Houses. NYCHA’s Recovery and Resilience Department (R&R) is pushing design boundaries in building reinforcements, storm surge protection, and infrastructure upgrades. Below, please find the latest R&R construction update for Red Hook Houses. To learn more about the R&R program visit https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nycha/about/recovery-resiliency.page

Power Plant & Pods Phase Percentage Completion: 49%
Project Start: Q4 2019
Anticipated Completion: Q4 2023

Ongoing Activities:
• Installation of site lighting posts and conduit throughout the site
o The new site lighting will be brighter and more energy efficient
• Installation of new windows at first and second-floor apartments adjacent to the new utility pods across the site
• Installation of underground conduit throughout the site including, but not limited to:
o Water lines by building 2 (101 Centre Mall)
o Gas, water, sewer, and storm lines at the East Plant (formerly 590 Clinton)
• Pathway closure between buildings 5 (752 Henry) and 6 (62 Mill) for several weeks to facilitate site restoration work in that area
o Access from Mill Street to Centre Mall between building 5 and 6 is closed but the management office is still accessible from Mill Street.
• Temporary street parking closures at Columbia between Lorraine and West 9th Street to facilitate the installation of underground conduit that will help better protect Red Hook buildings from unplanned utility outages
• Continued construction of all utility pods (small buildings) including but not limited to installation of framing, facades, electrical equipment, and roofing
• Basement floodproofing work throughout the site to protect flood-prone areas
o All basements except for building 6 (62 Mill Street) are expected to be completed by the end of 2023
• [Non-Sandy work activity] Local Law 11 façade inspection and repair is underway at buildings 1, 23, and 24
o Sidewalk sheds have been installed in those areas and will likely remain for several months

Upcoming Activities:
• Relocation of maintenance and management spaces to facilitate floodproofing work in building basements
• Installation of conduits through Columbia Street

Other:
• The Sandy construction team met with the Red Hook East resident association board, property management, and NYPD to discuss the progress of construction and construction-related issues including pest mitigation and parking
• NYCHA’s R&R Department is happy to welcome the newest member of the team, Teroya Huntley (Teroya.Huntley@nycha.nyc.gov)
o Teroya will be assisting with community engagement efforts at Red Hook for the duration of the project and will be on site every day at the LiRo office on Columbia – stop by and say hello!
