Speaker Corey Johnson 'Not Ready to Say' NYCHA Boss Shola Olatoye Should Resign

By Erin Durkin

City Council Speaker Corey Johnson said he's "not ready to say at this point" that NYCHA Chairwoman Shola Olatoye should resign, despite her false testimony under oath to the Council about lead paint.

Johnson said he met with NYCHA brass Wednesday and pressed for an explanation on why Olatoye did not tell the truth at the December hearing — but officials have not been able to “pinpoint” what went wrong.

Olatoye testified that 4,200 apartments where young children live had been inspected for lead by NYCHA workers with proper certification by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development. But according to the city Department of Investigation, the workers were not properly certified.
