Luz Martinez
âThey never explained  they just set up an appointment â said Luz Martinez  63  who got her letter on Nov. 30.
In the middle of all this  Red Hook tenant  Martinez  got  her  âbreach of leaseâ notice  demanding that  she  show up at the developmentâs management office Tuesday  the same day members of City Council grilled Olatoye about the scandal.

At the management office   Martinez  says  she  found dozens of other angry tenants whoâd received the same letters. All were told NYCHA will return to their apartments in the coming weeks to do âpaint correction.â
 Martinez âs niece  Tatiana  says paint chips and dust have been a constant problem in the apartment for years. At times small chips collect on radiators and on the floor  along with faint dust that could be lead paint.
On Friday   Martinez  took her grandchildren to a clinic to be tested. She expects the results in about a week.
