Portrait series of residetns of the NYCHA Housing (New York City Housing Authority) in Redhook, Brooklyn
The Red Hook Houses are two connected public housing complexes located in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York City. Managed by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), they comprise the largest housing development in Brooklyn.In 1998, the New York City Police Department led a five-month investigation of drug sales at the Red Hook Houses which ended in the arrest of 400 suspects, with 95% being residents of the houses. - The city classifies Red Hook Houses as being in flood zone 1, indicating high flood risk. During Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the development was inundated with 6 feet (1.8 m) of flood water through sewer overflow and high tides. The storm left residents without power and fresh water for months. This caused leaks, resulting in mold that affected many residents' health.
