Residents at a Grand Park apartment complex are begging for help. They said they’ve endured horrid living conditions without any repairs for years.
“We are having to live with the roaches, the rats, the holes in the wall, the water leaking,” said resident April Sizemore, a mother of two.
“It’s black mold,” she said while pointing at a growth that’s accumulated. She has a fly trap over the stove to catch flies and sticky traps under the cupboard for roaches. The I-TEAM counted five roaches in one trap. “That mold itself is not going to help any of our lungs. Any apartment out here has that,” she said. “I don’t have Section 8. I don’t have hood, public housing. Have I put an application in? Yes, sir, I have. Am I still on the waiting list? Yes, I am. Am I hoping and praying that I get approved? Yes, I am,” Sizemore said.Eric Jackson says the unit his family of four shares hasn’t had central air conditioning in years. He showed us a broken unit outside.
The I-TEAM pulled records from the city of Jacksonville and code inspectors sent us a file with dozens of compliance issues from 2022 and 2023. Investigators have warned and fined the property managers for violations like unsanitary conditions, electrical issues, and rodents.
