We have some low income apartment buildings located just a few blocks down the road from our place. It is such a run down, horrible looking place, owned by one of the well known slum lords in the city. The majority of the tenants are Latinos, who are just trying to make a living and take care of their families, just like most of us are doing and I have no problem with that. It’s a darn shame that these apartments were kept up better, and I know that I’m not the only one that feels that way.
When we walk or drive by you can see how bad it is. The broken bottles, trash and other various litter issues are a huge issue, inside and out. Right inside the doorway you can see that they need a better type of apartment mailboxes. The current ones are all busted, doors missing or hanging off which leaves their mail totally unsecured and strewn all about the door yard and hallway. I know that a better set of cbu mailboxes set out front of the buildings would be in order here and I’ve called and left numerous messages with the business office asking them to look into the purchasing of and installing some good quality cluster mailboxes for their tenants. They deserve to have their US mail safe and secure just like anyone else does. Slumlords are the worse, I wish there was something else that I could do for these people.
