NYC mom sues NYCHA claiming her 2 kids were bitten and ‘permanently injured’ by mice in her rodent-infested home

Doris Montalvo has filed a lawsuit against the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), alleging that her two children were bitten and permanently injured by mice in a rodent-infested apartment at 38 Rutgers St. Montalvo claims that the NYCHA was repeatedly warned about the infestation but failed to take necessary action. This case highlights the ongoing issues with housing maintenance and tenant safety in NYCHA properties, raising questions about the authority's responsibility to ensure habitable living conditions for its residents.
