Please help the Chesapeake tenants!
I am writing to ask that you use your power to help the tenants of the Chesapeake Apartment complex. Please instruct the Housing Department to do a full inspection of the entire Chesapeake Apartment complex, including areas that were missed in a first round of inspections in June, such as the pipes underneath the building. The Housing Department and the county Health Department will not go back and re-examine these areas, which we believe have some of the most severe code violations. The number one complaint of tenants is the smell from raw sewage coming into their units. Tenants continue to get sick.
Although the results of the first inspection revealed thousands of violations, many more would likely be uncovered by a comprehensive inspection. The full scope of the maintenance problems at the Chesapeake cannot be fully addressed if the inspection process continues to be incomplete.
The Chesapeake tenants are also constituents of Council District 10, which currently has no voting representative, and it’s not known yet when they will have one. At a time when their health and safety is at stake, the tenants have no one on the City Council who can effectively advocate on their behalf. So I am urging you to please step in and advocate for them at this moment. Thank you.
Please tell the Housing Department to fully inspect the Chesapeake Apartments
