As part of a major capital improvement initiative for the New York City Housing Authority, STV delivered design and construction administration services for comprehensive roof rehabilitations across multiple residential developments. These upgrades strengthened building performance, enhanced weather protection and supported safer, healthier living environments for thousands of NYCHA residents. The work also improved roof‑level infrastructure across a wide mix of building types and community facilities.
What challenges did STV address?
Many NYCHA buildings suffer from aging roofs and deteriorated system components that can lead to water infiltration, energy loss and accelerated structural degradation. The program required working across numerous occupied sites with varied building conditions, hazardous materials and unique community facilities – including a senior center, a children’s center and a water tower – all requiring tailored solutions and coordinated field work.
What solutions did STV deliver?
STV designed and oversaw the replacement of existing roofing systems and performed asbestos abatement throughout multiple structures. The team delivered roof edge and railing replacements or parapet reconstruction, rooftop structural repairs, including bulkheads and a range of plumbing and ancillary improvements. Construction administration ensured all installations complied with NYCHA standards and maintained safety across active residential environments.
How does this project benefit the community?
New roofing systems improve durability, prevent water intrusion and enhance long‑term building resilience. These upgrades reduce maintenance needs, improve energy efficiency and ensure safer, more reliable homes for NYCHA residents.
