There are new details on the plans to address a major gas outage at a housing complex in Yonkers.

"We're used to it now, it's what we got to deal with," says Tara Antwine, who lives at the Palisade Towers.

Antwine and the others who live at the Palisade Towers housing complex in Yonkers have been without gas since August 2024. That's when a series of leaks were found in a main line.

Work has been happening to get things fixed by switching over the utility from gas to electric.

Residents have been given hot plates and convection ovens for cooking in the meantime.

"I've been doing OK for now but hopefully it gets better soon," says Elvis, who also lives at the Palisade Towers.

While some say they've been making it work, others are fed up.

Gabriel Gonzalez lives at the housing complex with his mother. He says the holidays look a lot different without being able to use a traditional stove.

"She's feeling kind of ashamed because she cannot have a turkey in the oven," Gonzalez told News 12.

Leaders with the Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers, however, say the light at the end of the tunnel is near.

"We're coming into the home stretch," said Wilson Kimball, president and CEO of the Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers.

Kimball says the pieces are coming together, especially when it comes to the funding.

"It was a lot of work on our end to put money together. We're still waiting for the last piece of the money to come in and get together but we're confident we have the money to do both phase one and phase two, so that's no longer a problem," Kimball said.

The first phase are the stoves and the second phase is the heating, according to Kimball.

They have a tentative date of Nov. 17 to begin the work.

Kimball says it could take about 14 months to get to all the units.

"I'd like to manage expectations. If I said a year, that would be pretty ambitious. I couldn't say a year and a half, I think that' s too long, maybe 14 months," Kimball explained.

Kimball says a lot of factors could impact that schedule, like how quickly they can move through the units.
