SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 10 – An NYC public
housing tenant who says she
cannot sleep in her apartment
in the Linden Houses sued for
the right to move elsewhere.
But the City says such moves
can take up to one year, even
in cases of domestic
violence.
On June
10, 2022 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Lewis J. Liman
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge Liman
inquired into the various
types of vouchers, and into an
apartment in Sheepsheads Bay
which doesn't have an oven.
The Bronx was in the air.
Also in the air
was whether this Jane Doe is
"jumping the line" of some
more urgently needing to
transfer within NYCHA.
The case is Doe
v. New York City Housing
Authority et al., 22-cv-4460
(Liman)
