If Your House Is Sick

  Some corporate property owners and managers, getting paid through HUD and housing authorities, discriminate and refuse to make their properties safe, accommodating, and livable for legitimate residents with disabilities.  Often these 'affordable' housing complexes and nuisance properties cause severe distress to individuals and families in need for safe, decent, and affordable housing.  While local housing courts often refuse to enforce fair housing laws, neglectful and/or abusive corporate property managers continue getting paid through HUD.

     One HUD property in Georgia operated by Fulton County’s Columbia at Mechanicsville, LP, Columbia at Mechanicsville Partners, LLC, Mechan-Summech, LLC, Columbia Residential Property Management, Inc., and their former property manager, Kalisha Winston, denied a mother’s request to move to another apartment after mold, mildew and other water damage caused by repeated flooding in her apartment began to affect her son’s health. Read HUD’s charge https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/FHEO/documents/20ChargeColumbiaatMechanicsville.pdf

ANOTHER ONE IN CONNECTICUT

Another bad Hud-funded landlord is in Hartford, Connecticut.  This particular investigation is a rare move by a state's top prosecutor. Connecticut's investigation focuses on Emmanuel Ku's failure to repair and maintain a 150-unit housing complex in Hartford known as the Clay Arsenal Renaissance Apartments, where families lived amid rodent infestations, mold, broken windows and inoperable smoke detectors, among other threats to their health and safety, according to federal records.  https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6682019-Ku-Default-Letter.html

NOTE:  We will continue posting more of these inhumane stories about government funded landlords, including updates on Spring Gate Apts. dba Rockland Place in Rockland, MA, which continues to be in non-compliance of lease agreements, so please bookmark typog.blogspot.com. It'll help remind you to return for updates.  And you won't even have to bother yourself passing through some flimsy gates, which really serve no good purpose anyway.
