Valentina Gonzalez's kitchen sink is in the living room, her dishes sit on the couch and her cabinets are in the hallway.

"This is just horrible," she said. "I've been like this for seven weeks, ordering food out for my kids. And I just want to get out of here."

She says he life was upended two years ago, when the city's Housing Authority sent workers to make repairs. But after ripping through the moldy wall, they never returned to finish the job. 

"I'm devastated," Gonzalez said. "I have to wash my dishes in the tub. Who does that? You don't treat people like this. This is horrible. You don't even treat animals like this."

Gonzalez says she requested a transfer out of her Randall Avenue apartment years ago after her infant daughter died suddenly while sleeping. She wanted a new beginning for her family, but that never happened. 

"They never put in the paperwork in 2014 when my daughter died. They did it in 2016," she said. "By the time they got the paperwork, they denied me."

She's one of many tenants at the Throggs Neck Houses left in limbo after a sex scandal rocked the development. NYCHA workers who were supposed to be fixing apartments were allegedly having sex parties here instead. Last month, NYCHA reassigned the entire staff as it investigates the allegations. 

Tenants here say they were already waiting a long time for repairs, but the ongoing investigation has slowed down the process even more.

Ana Sanchez says her walls and her patience are crumbling. Her transfer was approved four years ago and she’s still waiting. The ceiling in her apartment is falling apart due to leaking. She says the apartment she was promised is in even worse shape.

"They need to do their jobs," she said through an interpreter. "And whoever is responsible must pay. It's not the tenants' fault."

A NYCHA spokesperson tells NY1 that their staff will visit both residents to assess and coordinate necessary repairs, but could not comment on an ongoing investigation.

"Now that they're under investigation, they want to try to work and do repairs in people’s apartments, and it's not fair," Gonzalez said.
