Tenants of the Gatorwood Apartments are literally sick and tired of being

ignored. The rain from Frances and Jeanne are turning their apartments into a

science projects, and residents say maintenance is doing nothing about it.

The rain is leaking into apartments causing mold to grow. The leaking is so bad

in one apartment the roof collapsed, causing the person who lives there to move

to another location.

" There is mold everywhere in my apartment, it's making me sick my stuff in the

room is getting ruined, " says Gatorwood resident Wallace.

Management says they have tried to get roofers to patch up the holes, but with

damage state wide contractors are hard to come by. Until the holes are fixed

Gatorwood maintenance says they can not clean up the mold.
