Mayor Bill de Blasio claimed in an interview that long-suffering tenants of the city’s scandal-rocked public housing authority are seeing “real, visible” evidence of improvement in its crumbling housing developments.

“We’re actually turning around public housing, even though it was left in a horrible situation for decades,” Hizzoner told Pod Save America’s Jon Lovett in an interview released Wednesday. “We have real, visible evidence of improvement in the quality of life for people in public housing.”

But the claim flies in the face of a report issued by the Housing Authority’s federally imposed watchdog in July.

The monitor, Bart Schwartz, found that conditions in NYCHA’s 316 developments remained decrepit and the agency’s bureaucracy remains dysfunctional.

Schwartz’s office also determined NYCHA still lacks realistic plans for how it will comply with the multibillion-dollar settlement City Hall signed with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development in January.

Additionally, de Blasio claimed he has a plan to “entirely revamp public housing, we announced it last year, it’s well underway.”

Hizzoner appeared to be referring to the much-ballyhooed NYCHA 2.0 rollout, which calls for the partial privatization of more than 60,000 public housing apartments in a desperate bid to find funds for the cash-starved agency.

The controversial proposal also calls for opening up underutilized NYCHA land — like parking lots — to allow private developers to build mixed-income housing and for the agency to sell off its air rights to developers where possible.

He did not mention those details or that his administration’s own math shows the program would only generate $24 billion over the next 10 years, which means NYCHA would still face a $14 billion hole in its repair budget.

De Blasio’s campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.
