Ms. Hearn: Did they just tell her or... <br />Ms. Cherry: I mean I just to go tell... <br />Mr. Savage: That's the point I'm saying, seem like you need to tell the people who are <br />supposed to take care of it. I mean, if they can tell you then they should be able to tell the <br />Housing Authority. <br />Ms. Cherry: I asked, I went over there and now I'm sure that if the inspector says do <br />you have mold that I'm sure that they would tell them. But yall saying because they don't <br />come to the office, people that have been, there are some people that have complained, <br />Bobby Yates for instance, when he complained about the mold, he got retaliated against <br />and I have a letter to prove it. He got retaliated against so I don't know how often that <br />happened or anything but if you gonna get retaliated against for complaining, you're not <br />gonna complain cuz you don't want to lose your housing. <br />Mrs. Pridemore: That's what she's saying is that we are dealing with it now, she's <br />starting good, but we can't go to everybody and say do you have mold. The inspections <br />are done once a year and that guy that's hired to do the inspections, if there's mold he <br />should find it and he's not one of our people, he's hired from somewhere else... <br />Ms. Cherry: But they didn't find it back then and that's old stuff, but it's not old stuff <br />for the tenants. They still remember whatever's happened in the past. <br />Mrs. Pridemore: But it's being taken care of now. <br />Mr. Savage: And one thing about it, if.. <br />Ms. Cherry: Since I did these, since December it's all been taken care of? <br />Mrs. Ruthart: The ones that have been reported to me, Yes. <br />Ms. Cherry: So you're saying that the mold in apartment ... <br />Mrs. Ruthart: No, I said the mold that has been reported to me has been taken care of. <br />Ms. Cherry: So it's, I don't know why we are arguing, there is some mold in some of <br />the apartments that needs to be taken care of. <br />Ms. Braswell: I don't know about the retaliation. <br />Ms. Cherry: He had a complaint about the mold, he also complained about people <br />selling drugs in ... he's in a wheelchair, he said that scared him. I reported the mold and <br />nobody did anything, so he contacted legal aid and they sent out a letter. Then he <br />received a letter talking about he was seen 6 months ago smoking dope and also, it was a <br />nasty letter, it wasn't from her, it was from Denny Head. It was a nasty letter, also he <br />mentioned you have such and such people coming to your house, I mean it's just <br />nonsense, you know... <br />Ms. Braswell: But he was not kicked out or anything? <br />Ms. Cherry: He wasn't kicked out, but they did tell him that if, he smoked those <br />cigarettes that you roll so somebody might have seen something that you ... If you saw <br />somebody smoking some dope, you would take care of it right then and there and not <br />wait til 6 months later when he's complaining, is what I'm saying. <br />Mr. Savage: If you kicked somebody out for something like that, wouldn't that have to <br />be substantiated? <br />Mrs. Ruthart: We didn't kick him out. <br />Mr. Savage: No, I'm just saying if that happened. <br />Mrs. Ruthart: Yes. You have to have proof. <br />Ms. Hearn: You transfer him to another unit? <br />Mrs. Ruthart: Yes. <br />Ms. Hearn: Solved. <br />Ms. Cherry: Well it's not solved because that apartment right after that they rented it <br />out to someone else with the same mold in it, just painted over it. <br />5 <br />
