In the weeks that followed News 12's initial report on the living conditions inside 96-year-old Adel Kogan's apartment in Sheepshead Bay, the Holocaust survivor says she had seen and heard little from NYCHA, apart from an even bigger hole that was left in her bathroom ceiling after workers tested for asbestos.

A day after News 12 reached out for a comment from NYCHA on the status of the repairs, workers arrived at the unit to replaster the ceiling in her bathroom, promising to respray her chipping popcorn ceilings and repaint her peeling walls in the coming days.

In a statement to News 12 NYCHA said that "Work in this unit has been ongoing, with results to necessary testing received last month and brick repairs completed last week."

"I suffered so many years and nobody cared, but now that they started the bathroom this week, it's looking different, like for a human being, I'm starting to believe I will see this before the end of my life," she said.

The water damage in the unit stems from the upstairs tenant that Mrs. Kogan says she lived underneath for 10 years, despite multiple NYCHA complaint reports.

NYCHA says since News 12's initial report, those issues have been repaired in the unit above.

Still, Kogan remains skeptical.

“I’ll believe it when I see it,” she said. "My eyes can take it anymore, all over the top and the bottom, everywhere in every room, I had to live like this, nobody cared, nobody - only Channel 12."

NYCHA has stated that repairs are ongoing and that it will communicate next steps to Kogan.

News 12 will continue to follow the repairs as they happen.
