More than 1,400 residents of 71 housing developments across the city were surveyed.

They say poor maintenance, a lack of repairs and bad management make for a mess.

The agency got a D in 10 of 26 categories, including building safety, pest control and elevator maintenance.

It got a C- for the timeliness and quality of repairs.

The one bright spot was a B for language access at the complaint hotline.

“This is really encouraging people to have a voice and say in how they want to live. We all want a quality of life, and low-income residents who live in public housing should have it no less than that. So this is really a way of engaging residents of how the relationship with NYCHA has been," said City Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito.

In a statement, the Housing Authority said in part, "While the needs are great in most of NYCHA’s developments, the reality is that buildings that are 40 to 70-years-old are aging structures that require a great deal of repair, for which the authority receives inadequate funding."

Agency officials say they expect a potential loss of $200 million in funding.

A budget cut of that size could mean as many as 70,000 apartments could go without even the most basic of repairs.
