BROOKLYN, N.Y. - It takes Tyrone Johnson awhile to point out all the problems in the apartment he shares with his mother in the Red Hook Houses.

"The water came from out of that bathroom into this bathroom, into this hallway, down that hallway into my room," Johnson said.

On Monday he catalogued them not only for NY1, but also for Lynne Patton, the regional administrator for the Federal Housing Department.

It was the latest in a series of tours of NYCHA developments, which she's used to draw attention to the agency's systemic failures. Monday she gleefully teed off on Mayor Bill de Blasio.

"Right now he's focused on running for president, instead of focusing on his own constituents," Patton said.

She said new NYCHA chairman Greg Russ deserves a chance, but also knocked his plan to spend weekends back home in Minnesota.

"I told him I'm going to hold him accountable as if he lives here 24/7, because that's what I required of him. Unfortunately the Mayor didn't think that was necessary. I disagree," Patton said.

And she blasted NYCHA for failures in its lead paint abatement program, suggesting a new plan could be in the works. And she credited President Donald Trump, who she says is paying attention to NYCHA.

"People forget, but the President is from New York. He's a New Yorker first and foremost. He remembers a day when NYCHA properties were not like this," Patton said.

For State Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, who invited Patton on Monday's tour, it's not about the president's politics.

"From the past administrations, we never saw nobody coming. So at least I have to give credit to her, to the administrator, for taking on the initiative to come to Red Hook and see some apartments and meet with the leaders," Ortiz said.

NYCHA says it's committed to working with its federal partners and noted all of the Red Hook Houses are currently or will soon be undergoing lead testing.

As for Johnson, he would just like fixes to the broken stove, the peeling paint, and everything else that's wrong with his apartment.

"My mother don't need to live like this. I don't believe nobody need to live like that," Johnson noted.
