Freedom can not ring in an oppressive society. This blog reflects thoughts, personal experiences, + several notes of interest on 'affordable' housing. What do you think of gov't financing nuisance properties? Rockland Place continues doing business as SPRING GATE APARTMENTS along Martha Drive + Hannah Way in Rockland, Mass. (shady business).

DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES plus
Around 2:20 a.m. Saturday, September 29, 2012, a woman was heard repeatedly screaming from the door of 93 Martha Drive, "OH MY GOD! HELP!" Several police cruisers, fire apparatus, and an ambulance were called to that address again. This time the cause was for a suspected heroin overdose in the first floor hallway.
It's been reported, for many years, residents and live-ins habitually distribute illegal drugs in back of, and all around this, and other areas of Rockland Place dba Spring Gate Apartments. Just about every single day this past week, police have been called to 93 Martha Drive due to violence and other activity. It really shouldn't be too difficult for corporate partners to figure out who's not complying with their lease agreement. Duh!

Little Regard for Tenants Again
Tenants along Martha Drive and Hannah Way in Rockland, Mass. received two additional notices, dated August 27, 2012, from Spring Gate Apartments Management. One was signed by Janet Hamilton, the other was not. After tenants prepared and waited, and waited, and waited, Management and HUD never even showed to perform the inspection. What's rude and inconsiderate is that Management never notified tenants of the cancellation.... (It's not the first time.)
Also worth noting, Management is aware that most residents' air conditioners do not fit properly in the newly renovated AC Sleeves. Perhaps tenants should be warned that using windows on the 2nd and 3rd floors as a means of egress may cause serious injuries or even death.

First notice for Aug. 27, 2012 reads:
SpringGate Apartments, August 27, 2012, To: All Residents, Re: HUD Inspection
On Thursday, August 30, 2012 an Inspector from the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) will be on site at Spring Gate Apartments to perform an inspection of the property for HUD. All areas of the property will be inspected including buildings, grounds, common areas and approximately 20 apartments which will be chosen at random by the inspector on the day of the inspection. Since there will be no additional notice regarding which units will be inspected all residents should be prepared.
The REAC Inspector will be accompanied by Spring Gate management staff. Your presence is welcome during the inspection but not mandatory. If your unit is chosen and you are not home we will leave a notice in your apartment apprising you of our visit. In the event that the inspection takes longer than anticipated it is possible the inspection could run into Friday the 31st so please be prepared. Also, if the inspection has to be rescheduled for any reason the Management Office will notify you of the change.
We appreciate your cooperation in preparing for this very important inspection. Please call the office if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you, (signed) Janet Hamilton, Property Manager, 52 Hannah Way, Rockland, MA 02370 781-871-2323
Second notice for that same date reads:
Spring Gate Apartments, To: All Residents, From: Management Office, Subject: HUD Inspection, Date: 8/27/2012
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will be conducting an inspection of the property on August 30, 2012. In preparation for this inspection management is requesting your cooperation in addressing the following health and safety violations if they are present in your apartment or building.
1.) Remove all personal belongings from the hallway. The hallways are for egress only. They are not for storage of bicycles, carriages, shoes, etc.
2.) Remove any belongings from the front and rear entry doors to your apartment if they inhibit the doors from opening all the way.
3.) Remove air conditioners from bedroom windows. Your bedroom window is considered an emergency exit. That's why the AC sleeves were installed. Also, do not block your bedroom windows with furniture.
4.) Do not remove or disconnect your fire detection devices. If you are having a problem with them let management know.
5.) Remove rubbish or extraneous materials from your deck.
Maintenance will be going through the hallways early Thursday morning. Any belongings left in the hallways will be discarded.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call the Management Office at 781-871-2323. Thank You.

Time to Stash the Trash Again
Owners of Rockland Place dba Spring Gate Apartments may be after some extra government money again. Tenants received notice dated August 16, 2012 regarding 'inspection items'. It doesn't mention which particular agency or agencies are involved with this inspection. So this must be an extra special inspection because some tenants continue to report insufficient 24-hour notice to gain entry into their units during other times throughout the year.
With all the fights, firesetting, suspicious business listings, live-ins, vandalism, and illegal drug abuse taking place at this subsidized housing complex, it's amazing this nuisance property would even be eligible for government funds. I suppose it depends on who corporate landlords rub elbows with. It is an election year afterall and corporate partners from this housing complex are known for contributing to campaigns, especially to the Democratic Party. Anyway, here is what the notice reads. I believe the initials at the bottom stand for Linda Hamilton and Janet Hamilton. This time their notice carries the Spring Gate Apartments letterhead.
We have recently had several inspections of the common areas of the property and expect
another inspection later in August. In order to prepare for that inspection we need to make
residents aware of items that must be taken care of immediately.
• If you have an air conditioner in a bedroom window that only has one window it must
be removed immediately. If the bedroom has only one window that window is
considered the second means of egress (or exit) in an emergency. Your unit will fail the
inspection if that window is blocked with either an air conditioner or furniture such as
beds or dressers.
• If you have cable wires laying on the floor of your apartment it is considered a trip
hazard. Your unit will fail the inspection if there are any trip hazards in your apartment.
• A" storage items, trash, bicycles, toys, and etc., must be removed from patios and
porches.
• If you have trash or items stored in the hallways it must be removed. The mats and
carpets in front of your apartment doors are also considered trip hazards and must be
removed.
Management will inspect your apartment and a" of the common areas prior to the inspection.
You have five (5) days from the date of receipt of this memorandum to correct the items listed
above. If Management has to remove or handle any of the issues described, you will be
charged.
We thank you for your cooperation. Please do not hesitate to contact the Management Office
if you have questions.

"Fast and Furious"- U.S. backing a Mexican drug cartel?
*"Fast and Furious" about U.S. backing a Mexican drug cartel? - FOX19.com-
Could this be why authorities are supportive of certain illegal drug activity in state and federal subsidized housing complexes? Though the link above mentions the Bush and Obama administrations, authorities wouldn't clean it up during the Clinton administration either.
Cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and prescription drugs remain available inside the Rockland Place or Spring Gate Apartments in Rockland, Mass. So of course, the violence continues, sometimes with property management inside the over-staffed onsite rental office. Because Management keeps taking referrals and renting to those with a history of violating others, Rockland Place will never change for the better. Management is known for allowing some people to stay without appearing on a lease.
Several suspicious business listings, like *Rockland Self-Storage at 141 Martha Drive continue being published off and on since 1996. By now we know it's really a subsidized residential building. This listing usually carries a phone number to South Shore Voc-Tech. Authorities insist it was a typo in 1996. However, new listings post the same number to this day. Most business listings in the complex and logged 'disturbances' involve hushed illegal drug deals originating from some head-of-household residents who are granted special privileges other tenants do not have.
While decent and affordable housing is a necessity, Rockland Place dba Spring Gate Apartments, and other poorly managed, nuisance housing complexes, are detrimental to communities and to respectable human beings. Where is the safe, decent, and affordable housing MassHousing, corporate partnerships, and HUD officials promise taxpayers and needy citizens with low-income?

Trouble Continues at Rockland Place/SpringGate
July 10, 2012, between10pm and 11:59pm: Rockland Police were called to 93 Martha Drive four different times. First call involved a loud party at 93D. Second call to police was involving another apartment in the same building for a loud disturbance. Third call involved an allegedly intoxicated woman shouting on the porch of 93E Martha Drive to a crowd of neighbors with threats of a fight. When police arrived the upset woman was advised. Police left and returned around 15-minutes later regarding the same tenant who was out of control in the hallway. All the while an adult male from 92D Martha Drive was creating a disturbance with revving the engine of his vehicle, speeding, and squealing his tires from Martha Drive to John Dunn.
July 11, 2012, morning hours: Police were chasing alleged armed robbery suspects around the Spring Street area and then continued their search in the woods surrounding SpringGate Apartments, which has always been a convenient place to hide out and evade police.
With new corporate partners, a name change, numerous rent increases, and years of receiving housing tax credits and other monies, property management and government agencies continue to fail the decent tenants residing along Martha Drive and Hannah Way in Rockland, Massachusetts. The pattern of renting to, and protecting those involved in criminal activities is a habitual pattern at this subsidized housing complex. Management prefers evicting residents who report crime on this nuisance property before ever evicting those involved in it.
July 11, 2012, morning hours: Police were chasing alleged armed robbery suspects around the Spring Street area and then continued their search in the woods surrounding SpringGate Apartments, which has always been a convenient place to hide out and evade police.
With new corporate partners, a name change, numerous rent increases, and years of receiving housing tax credits and other monies, property management and government agencies continue to fail the decent tenants residing along Martha Drive and Hannah Way in Rockland, Massachusetts. The pattern of renting to, and protecting those involved in criminal activities is a habitual pattern at this subsidized housing complex. Management prefers evicting residents who report crime on this nuisance property before ever evicting those involved in it.
