Elderly Tenants Forced to Move Due to “Mold Nightmare”
Your home is your sanctuary and refuge, making NYC mold treatment an important factor in preserving livability. Imagine the dismay and frustration of elderly tenants living in an Alabama housing development who have been coping with three years of mold problems.
Residents of Spring Gardens Housing in Tarrant first discovered patches of black mold three years ago. Documents reviewed by AL.com, an Alabama news site, indicated that housing ownership and officials received environmental lab reports documenting the problem dating back to that period.
Emails and other documents indicate that some of the mold and structural problems were remediated, but the issue persisted. As recently as last April, Jefferson County Housing Authority (JCHA) conducted an inspection of 100 apartments they manage in the development. The report revealed evidence of mold in 14 of the 70 occupied units.
A resident of Spring Gardens spoke with AL.com about the way he’s been shuttled back and forth due to the mold issue. He was forced to move three times in a two-week period, with no solution in sight. The man also allowed the reporter to photograph a rash on his upper chest that may have been caused by the housing conditions.
A spokesman for Navigate Affordable Housing Partners, Inc., which took over management at the beginning of 2015, insists the agency maintains a commitment to the residents. However, it’s unclear whether they conducted an inspection on the non-JCHA units.
