Public Housing

Whether a tenant is disabled does not have a bearing on whether he can be evicted. If a PHA has the right to evict a tenant then it can evict such person regardless of disability.

Franklin Roosevelt was President when the first federally-funded public housing was built in the US.

In the United Kingdom, public housing projects are called just that, public housing projects. These housing projects are available to support those who are without housing and are on welfare.

I have had a lot of experience with this, as I owned properties that participated in government programs. First, one must understand the type of housing. In general, the apartments that receive subsidies individually are less attractive than buildings that are contracted as a whole. Newer buildings are generally much nicer as the developers in recent years have been given greater incentives by the city to make better housing. The following is a list, in my opinion of apartment quality based on it's status:

Built after 1998, HPD Contracted: Excellent Condition

General HPD Contracts, pre 1998: Good Conditions

Housing Stability Plus Program (HSP): Below Average

Section 8 Voucher Units, pre 1998 construction: Terrible

Be wary of the tenants in the building as well. If you see that they are constantly fighting with landlords, or they keep their apartments in poor condition, it is very likely that it will spill into your apartment. Look for evidence of rat traps or poison. Also bed bugs. If any apartment has bed bugs, most of the other units are at risk. Look to make sure the areas around the building are clean as well.

To find violations on the building in advance, you can look directly at the nyc hpd website at the following link:

Just enter the address and borough, and you will see the violations of the building. Courtesy of Think Properties NYC

Yes. There are many ways of doing it.

The city or county usually handles this. Go to Local Government in the phone book and look up housing,fair housing. Someone should be able to tell you where to go.

Probably not because of the Bk, but because of unpaid rent, yes.

In NJ credit checks are done for all applicants to Public Housing. Though, as I research the subject more, it appears that there may already be laws in place that prevent these checks from being the sole deciding factor in whether or not an individual gets the housing they seek.

well i guess it really depends on where u park it. if u park it on a disabled zone, near a fire hydrant, or have lots of parking tickets, then yes it can be towed

The latest one, the Housing Act of 2004, updated the housing standards of earlier versions.

In 1880 in New York City, rented rooms varied in price. The cheapest weekly rate was $1 dollar a week.

The laws established to protect those who live in public housing from physical and verbal harassment are the Tenants Rights.

Yes, if they are the tenants landlord.
