because of genuine complaints that food wasn’t provided to NYCHA residents, just water bottles, during the eight days it took the city and lab company to realize the arsenic test results were false. The residents relied on donations or paying out of pocket for meals.

“The nearly 4,000 residents of the Riis Houses could not use their tap water for 10 days due to faulty tests showing water contamination,” said Hoylman. “Residents could not cook their own meals, leaving them to pay more out of pocket or depend on charity to feed themselves and their families.
