A housing body responsible for managing more than 20,000 properties could be brought back under the direct control of Haringey Council.
Council leader Cllr Joseph Ejiofor revealed town hall bosses will look at bringing arms-length management organisation Homes for Haringey back in-house.
Set up in 2006, Homes for Haringey employs around 750 people and manages 16,000 tenanted and 4,500 leasehold properties in the borough.
Its responsibilities include repairs, major works, asset management and community engagement.
A statement by Cllr Ejiofor posted on the council’s website on Thursday revealed the organisation could be insourced as the local authority looks for ways to improve accountability and join up services.
