As the largest public housing agency in North America, the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is tasked with keeping more than 400,000 New Yorkers located across all five of the city’s boroughs safe. With that goal in mind, NYCHA launched a broad, sweeping program to enhance the safety and security of its residents with the installation of closed-circuit television systems (CCTV), layered-access control, LED lighting and other associated security systems components – a program that has produced tangible results for the agency.
STV has been a trusted NYCHA partner since the agency first initiated this program and was one of three firms tasked with providing CM-as-agent services for NYCHA’s entire CCTV portfolio. STV’s portion included 34 separate projects distributed throughout 34 different developments.
Every location presented its own set of needs and challenges, and all construction was executed swiftly and within budget while these bustling housing complexes were still occupied by residents. STV served as a single point of contact on behalf of NYCHA for communications with contractors, subcontractors, tenants and other stakeholders. The firm was tasked with conducting site surveys and estimating services at every location along with overseeing contractors in developing the appropriate cost proposals.
