Residents of Tampa apartments fed up with years of floodwater in their home

Christina Ramos and her husband moved into the Lake Azzure apartment complex in Tampa two years ago and she says it has been a nightmare living with water and mold in her home that entire time.

“The only reason that we renewed is because we were both in school and I had a newborn and couldn’t find the time or afford another place,” Ramos said. “But if I could have moved out of here on day five, I would have because the issues started day one.”

Residents like Ramos have been living with this severe flooding since before Tropical Storm Debby came through the area. The waters recede some at times but then rise again every time it rains.

Residents are fed up, saying nothing has been done as their homes or cars continue to get water inside so they reached out to ABC Action News.

“Disgusted. Disgusted. Unheard. Everybody tries to complain, and nothing ever gets done,” she said. “As long as they are getting paid and the rent, it doesn’t matter.”

She is isn’t the only one who is tired of the lack of action from management.
