The head of a Bronx tenants council used and abused NYCHA workers as her personal assistants — having some fluff up her wigs and another clean her home while she wore a “revealing pink nightgown,” the city’s housing agency says.
Powerful Throggs Neck Tenant Association honcho Monique Johnson — who has since quietly resigned from her post — was accused of the peek-a-boo cleaning and putting agency workers in other hairy situations in a termination letter obtained by The Post on Tuesday.
Johnson directed NYCHA workers to style her hair and rearrange her wigs, remove her trash, pick up and deliver food, carry shopping goods to her apartment and fuss with items in her cabinets, wrote the New York City Housing Authority‘s interim vice president and general counsel, David Rohde, in the letter to the woman in May.
She also wore a “revealing pink nightgown the entire time” a NYCHA employee cleaned her apartment, the missive said.
“NYCHA is notifying you that these Code of Conduct violations are unacceptable, constitute grounds for removal from Office, and further, it has determined that you are, in fact, no longer eligible to serve as President of the Throggs Neck Tenant Association,” Rohde wrote to Johnson.
The New York City Housing Authority booted Bronx tenants council president Monique Johnson for abusing her power by treating staffers as personal helpers, The Post has learned. YoutubeShe stepped down soon after, a source familiar with the probe said.
The city Department of Investigation had previously conducted several investigations into Johnson going back to 2013, but she survived them all.
Johnson claimed to The Post on Tuesday that she had not received the NYCHA letter.
The letter also said Johnson directed NYCHA workers to rearrange items in her cabinets, remove her trash, pick up and deliver food, style her hair, fluff her wigs, and carry shopping items to her apartment. Gregory P. Mango“Have a good day, sir,” Johnson added before hanging up.
An NYCHA spokesman only said, “The letter speaks for itself.”
