Mrs. Rios is a tenant at 81 Conz Street Apt#515 in C/O the Northampton Housing Authority. On August 12, 2009 I wrote a letter to the NHA expressing my concerns about Mrs. Rios apartment. In the letter I mentioned how these concerns had been addressed in the past by Mrs. Rios daughter Mildred Jimenez. Mrs.Jimenez met with Maureen Cayer in the beginning of this year but the issues were never resolved. In my effort to advocate for my grandmother at the same time assure that the NHA were given adequate time to address my concerns I offered to give an additional 30 days to repair, replace and exterminate Mrs. Rios apartment before I would involve the Northampton Board of Health. Forty six days have passed since my letter and over six months have passed since Mrs.Jimenez has written a letter and met with Mrs. Layer. 1 am now involving the Board of Health to advocate for Mrs. Was and her family who have tried many times to seek resolution to concerns that affect her well-being. Since my letter the NHA has replaced the screen window in her bedroom, the door knob to her living area and have repaired her stove. But the most important concerns which were originally addressed in the beginning of 2009 have still not been resolved. These include the infestation of roaches and the peeling paint from her ceiling. As I mentioned in the letter to NHA I am completely aware of the offer made to Mrs. Rios to move her into another apartment. Mrs. Rios did refuse the offer and I agree that Mrs. Rios should not have to move apartments, possibly relocate to a different floor or a different building because NHA have neglected to abide by the rules and standards set by HUD. I did personally speak to David Adamson about a week after I mailed my letter to touch base. I made it very clear that if they needed Mrs. Rios apartment to be vacant for a few days to assess the ceiling or the pest we would be happy to make those arrangements. In addition, the NHA have unsuccessfully attempted to get rid of the pest by placing little boxes throughout Mrs. Rios apartment which has been the same action taken by them for months.As for the ceiling no actions have been taken. My grandmother is an elderly lady who has become very sick,she has not caused the NHA any problems and like any citizen deserves to be living in a safe and sanitary environment. The paint peeling from the ceiling and the roaches residing throughout her apartment is unsanitary, and this is not a way for any individual to have to live. I would like to thank you for your immediate attention to my concerns. If you hove any questions I can be reached at(413)727-8211 or at(413)313-8788.
