At the time original inspection was made, structures were vandalized
and had structural and plumbing problems. Owner has done nothing either to
repair or demolish.
Inspections and Code has received complaints and made inspections at
this apartment complex for many years. We dealt with code issues
in Building 6 in August, 1998, Building 7 in November, 1998 and January, 1999,
and Building 13 in March, 2001. In each case, the owner made minimal effort
to repair to standard. The apartments have continued to decline due to lack
of upkeep, and deteriorated to point as to require condemnation.
