There are bedbugs, rodent infested. Mice in the units. It is unsafe and unclean,” says tenant Judith Judge. “If we are being displaced, that is not a place where we should be because that is not fair to us.”
Tenants claim that the city has not been involved in securing any temporary housing for them.
News 12 has reached out to the city for comment and is waiting to hear back.
