This " Mold Pit, " otherwise known as the apt. building

where I live, is owned and managed by a large company

that buys old school buildings and turns them into

apts. for low-income seniors, or low-income families,

or for individuals who are mentally challagned. The

building where I live is for seniors, and management

knows that " we " the tenants, don't have any other

place to go - to live, so they do as little

maintenance as possible, and tell us, if you don't

like it, then move. And they also try to intimidate

you, by getting across the message, if you complain,

you're going to be evicted. Well, I know that is not

legal, and I have complained since I found out about

the mold in this building, but it hasn't done me any

good. And the other tenants, even though they know I

complain, and have not been evicted, they are still

afraid to open their mouth. I filed a lawsuit against

the owner and will most likely be going to court next

year. The owner does not deny there is mold in the

building, but claims the mold did not cause me to

become ill, even though I was healthy when I moved

into this building. So I need to find an " expert " who

will connect my health problems to the fact I am

living in a building that is filled with mold. And in

the meantime, all I can do is take one day at a time,

and do the best I can.
