Is cable/satellite (DirecTV/DishNetwork) installation allowed in these complexes? My father likes to watch this horse racing show that airs every other day and it's only on satellite tv.

Thank You

Nycha is it! They only give out contracts to one cable provider and that is the only cable provider we are allowed to use for the whole development..furthermore satellite dishes are not allowed on public housing developments. Management says that their is no secure way of knowing that the dishes are secured...i so hate this...why are we only allowed to have one cable provider to chose from i hate it...if we had 3 or 5 our prices will be a lot cheaper.. Nycha tenants don't have that option to exercise i wish someone will start a petition to get this policy revoked..

When normal renters want to save money they cut out cable. I guess when tax payers pay most of your rent you can afford satellite.

^^^This and also cable like telephone is allowed at any tenant's request. Satellite does not have that right. It can be prohibited by Landlords be it the City or privately owned.

Thats not the only reason why NYCHA prohibits satellite dishes. Many private buildings also do not allow this due to the fact that they don't want anything mounted to the side of the building.

That's how the coop I live in is. It's actually in my lease. The building behind us allows it and it looks kinda tacky.

That must be similar to the tax breaks and outright public funding that private developers get for building luxury high-rises right?
