Miami-Dade condo building’s needed repairs frustrate residents

HOA, condo association dues don’t often translate to repairs 06:08

MIAMI — Residents in Hialeah have shared their concerns about their living conditions with CBS News Miami.

Residents at Venetian Gardens at Country Club of Miami met with CBS News Miami to hear more about their frustrations and concerns, where building after building appeared to be in various states of disrepair.

Reporter Joe Gorchow asked, “Do you feel safe living here?”

“Not really,” responded Alexandra Ferrales, who lives at one of the homes at Venetian Gardens.

Ferrales said she is not sure how much time her community has before she feels Miami-Dade County will have to step in to force them out for repairs.  The county’s website lists seven unsafe structure cases at the Association.

The county tells CBS News Miami it knows and is actively monitoring the Association.

Frustrated residents speak out

“How are we like this,” asked Ferrales, observing a hole in one of the hallway ceilings.  “They can’t do anything right.”
