New York City’s embattled public housing authority has agreed to a more stringent consent decree in a running, multiyear battle over mold in New York City Housing Authority residents’ apartments.

The latest chapter in the suit, Baez v. NYCHA, comes after the plaintiffs claim NYCHA has continued to not be in compliance with the consent decree, first issued in 2014. The agreement submitted to U.S. District Judge William Pauley III of the Southern District of New York on Friday substantially bolsters the requirements and the oversight of the public housing authority.
