CONEY ISLAND \u2014 STAFF AT A NYCHA<\/b> community center in Coney Island say a mold-infested maintenance closet has remained unrepaired for nearly a year, despite repeated service requests, raising health concerns for children and seniors who use the facility, reports City Limits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Employees at the O\u2019Dwyer Gardens Community Center say dark mold has spread across the closet\u2019s walls and ceiling, producing strong odors and prompting staff to keep the door shut as much as possible \u2013 although they\u2019re required to periodically access the supplies stored inside. Several workers reported nausea, headaches and respiratory symptoms.<\/p>\n

NYCHA said its average response time for mold complaints at the development has dropped significantly, and that open work orders have declined sharply, adding that an inspector visited the site in late December. The authority has been under a court order to remediate mold complaints within two weeks for the last 11 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey come in, observe it, then leave without saying when work will be done,\u201d center program director Sadaf Sheikh told City Limits. \u201cNow it\u2019s December and it\u2019s still like that. It\u2019s been almost a year.\u201d<\/p>\n
