US HB7107

Requires the HUD Inspector General to investigate the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), the nation's largest public housing authority serving over 520,000 residents in 177,000 apartments

Investigation must assess NYCHA's compliance with a January 31, 2019 agreement following a federal lawsuit alleging failures in lead paint safety, heating, elevators, mold and pest control, and false statements to HUD

HUD Secretary declared NYCHA in "substantial default" on January 31, 2019; a Monitor was appointed rather than a federal receiver, with oversight extended through 2029

On February 6, 2024, 70 NYCHA employees were charged with federal bribery in the largest single-day federal bribery case

Inspector General must submit findings to Congress within 180 days, including a summary of actions HUD can take to compel NYCHA to remedy deficiencies
