Edelia Medina, a resident at the Clairelaine Gardens Apartment, who KRIS 6 News spoke to last week, contacted us to inform us that after our coverage, management reached out to fix some of the issues.
As KRIS 6 News reported in September 2023, many elderly people living here were having trouble with the elevators.
But she is just one of many residents with numerous complaints that still need to be resolved.
“There are a lot of issues with these apartments,” Marivel Vera said.
Vera has been living at Clairlaine Gardens Apartments for almost seven months.
She told KRIS 6 News that a constant problem is the cockroaches and the elevator not working since many elderly people live on the second floor.
We also reported that homelessness is one of the problems this building had. After KRIS 6 News reporter Naidy Escobar checked out the place, the housing authority installed keypads to ensure only people with the code could get in.
