BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, BROOKLYN — Charlene Taylor remembers the day she and thousands of her Brevoort Houses neighbors first lost water because it's the same day she was rushed to Kingsbrook emergency room in an ambulance.

Taylor became dizzy about two weeks ago as she looked for the line of spigots NYCHA residents have since been forced to rely upon for water to bathe, brush their teeth and flush their toilets. So she ducked into the senior center, the development's official cooling center, only to find the air conditioner that broke a year ago had yet to be fixed. That's when she fainted.

"It was horrible," said Taylor. "I'm a human being, I have rights just like anyone else." Taylor was rushed to the emergency room on July 16,. On Friday, she and about 2,000 Brevoort Houses residents are still waiting for the water to be turned back on in their homes.

"It should not take public pressure to increase the goddamn water pressure," said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who held a press conference outside the Ralph Avenue development Friday morning. "I'm disgusted just to think of the culture of indifference in NYCHA … it's a cesspool of cultural indifference."

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams holds one of the buckets that Brevoort Houses residents are using to bring fresh water into their homes. Problems first began at the Brevoort Houses about a month ago, when residents reported intermittent water pressure on the NYCHA online dashboard, a website meant to record and track tenant complaints.

NYCHA turned the water off, then it came back on for about five hours with the issue logged as resolved.

Shortly after, it went off again, Adams said. Now residents in 13 buildings and 894 apartments are still relying on a row of spigots set up at 311 Patchen Ave. for fresh water. And they have no idea when NYCHA will finish fixing the undisclosed problem in one tank and cleaning the second, where maintenance workers found a homeless person sleeping, the Borough President said.
