Residents living in a senior citizen apartment community in Gwinnett County say their health is being compromised.
They reached out to Channel 2 Action News for help after high levels of toxic mold were found in their apartments at the Redland Creek Senior Apartments.
Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Ashli Lincoln went inside one of those apartment units on Thursday. Within minutes, she says it was hard to breathe.
“Everything from coats to jackets, it was full of mold,” one renter who did not want to be identified described. “It needs to be called out.”

Several tenants have even gone online to complain about this issue.
“Everybody is getting sick as far as irritation, breathing, headaches,” one Google review of the community read.
Back in November, the woman Lincoln spoke with took pictures of extensive mold in her closet.
“It’s uncomfortable to breathe,” she said.
She said that property management hired a mold company to assess her unit and others, but they refused to release the findings to the tenants.
