10/22- Met manager and visited posted units. At apt 102, I met tenant and inspected. No pest observed. There is some clutter and some sanitation issues. There is a slight odor. Discussed issues with tenant. He agreed to call to see if he was eligible for senior services and to work on correcting issues. I agreed to visit in 2 weeks. At Apt 206, I met a female who the manager said was not on the lease. The female claimed she did not live there but she disclosed that the one bedroom was hers. That bedroom was hoarded such that there was only a small area for sleeping, no pathways and door could not open fully. The kitchen area only had a walking path, the living room area was not accessible due to hoarding. The bedroom of the tenant on lease was not hoarded but did have rotting food and gnats. The entire unit had a severe gnat infestation. The entire unit has hoarded food, trash and garbage that was rotting and decaying.
