Take my three-bedroom duplex apartment — please!

A disabled Brooklyn woman says she’s been trying to get out of her two-floor home in Coney Island and into a smaller city-housing apartment for a decade but the New York City Housing Authority keeps ignoring her.

This despite the agency’s waiting list being full of thousands of families desperately seeking two- and three-bedroom apartments.

More than 244,000 people are waiting for public housing, and nearly 18,000 of them hope to snag a three-bedroom such as the one in which Luduvina Gomez lives on West 27th Street.

NYCHA sent the woman a form in 2003, asking her to transfer to a nonduplex, according to her Brooklyn Supreme Court lawsuit.

Gomez claims she has dutifully filled out and sent in the form every year since, to no avail.

She’s now suing NYCHA for $1 million in damages because she fell in the duplex last year and suffered an injury.

NYCHA declined to comment.
