The report was only six pages, but it painted a damning portrait of an egregious work environment where managers routinely retaliated against subordinates, rigged contracts and destroyed appliances meant for residents. They also clocked overtime without working extra hours, and drank alcohol and held on-site parties.

A spokeswoman for the mayor said Nycha was seeking to dismiss the two managers accused of misconduct in the report. But critics said the findings were emblematic of widespread systemic failure at the housing agency and insufficient oversight of the city’s 325 housing projects where 400,000 people live.

Below are some of the report’s most startling findings.

Retaliation and threats

The report described a hostile workplace where two managers, Brianne Pawson and Wallace Vereen , bullied and threatened employees, and openly boasted about the power they wielded.

Ms. Pawson, the daughter of Charles Pawson, who was in charge of maintenance at Nycha-run buildings before retiring over the summer, began working at the Throggs Neck Houses in 2016, and once said in front of staff members that one worker “should rape” another worker, the report said. On a separate occasion, she said she wanted someone to break the legs of an employee whom she suspected of filing a complaint against her.

The two would give better work assignments to employees “in their clique” and retaliate against those they did not like, once forcing a longtime groundskeeper into retirement. Mr. Vereen, who became the development’s housing manager in 2017, once said he ran Throggs Neck “like a jail,” according to the report.
