Two days after Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a sweeping civil settlement
with the federal government over New York City’s public housing system,
federal and local investigators seized documents and other items

The
investigators questioned housing officials, cloned computer hard drives
and took the city-issued cellphone of a senior manager overseeing lead
abatement, according to two people briefed on the matter.
Then they returned on Thursday.
The
surprise visit rattled officials and pierced the veneer of common
purpose presented by Mayor de Blasio on Monday when he announced that
the city would commit at least $1.2 billion in extra funding for needed
repairs in New York City Housing Authority buildings.
