Description
apartment complex owners are renting out illegal basement apartment. there's water and black mold issues that landlord neglects to disclose to perspective tenants. there is only one entrance to the illegal apartment. there are no egress windows in bedrooms, if there's a fire there's only one exit in front of apartment. also apartment complex is not handicapped compliant or accessible. deck stairs are too steep and not to code. there are a few handicapped individuals here and have brought this to landlord's attention and he outright refuses to fix any problems. landlord will not allow handicapped tenants to install safety bars in bathrooms. landlord will not even provide handicapped parking spaces.
housing inspectors need to come and inspect all apartments for health and code violations, there are many in both complexes.
