City Councilmember Carlina Rivera joined Errol Louis on "Inside City Hall" Tuesday to discuss traces of arsenic being found in the tap water at the Jacob Riis Houses in the East Village. Rivera explained that NYCHA residents have had to endure constant issues, including lead paint, toxic mold and rodent infestations.

"There is a legacy, unfortunately, of a very complicated history that is rooted in classism and racism and the mistreatment of the families throughout public housing developments over decades," Rivera said.

Rivera called for an investigation into the most recent NYCHA controversy, adding that residents in her district called her in August complaining about cloudy water in their apartments.

"I know that with the cases that I have with my constituents, people that have called my office with concerns about cloudy water coming out of their tap, that happened as early as August," Rivera said.
