From an audit conducted on the New York City Housing Authority, it was found the NYCHA is in partial compliance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's regulations and its own procedures regarding criminal background and sex offense checks of tenants residing in public housing. However, there is a lack of maintenance of documents and evidence in certain cases, which increases the risk that persons who are ineligible are residing in public housing, so the NYCHA must ensure that all regulations are followed.
