People living at 790 Concourse Village say the building is continually deteriorating but their rent keeps increasing.<\/p>\n
Residents say some of these issues include a collapsed garage, open ceilings, unpredictable heat, loss of amenities and more.<\/p>\n
“You have to walk through a narrow walkway now. There used to be a courtyard. There used to be a children’s playground where children used to play there. Slowly but surely, we’re losing ground here,” says Elizabeth Turkel.<\/p>\n
Emma, who has lived in the building for over 30 years, tells News 12 that residents used to pay around $60 to park in the garage. Since then, it collapsed. With no word on when it will be fixed, they now say they have to pay over $300 to park at a local grocery store.<\/p>\n
“It’s kind of costly. It’s really not affordable but that’s what we’re forced to pay now that we don’t have parking at Concourse Village,” she says.<\/p>\n
Residents say they have brought up these concerns for years, but nothing is being done.<\/p>\n
“The infrastructure of this building is basically caving in and we’ve had millions of dollars donated towards that and nothing\u2019s been done for the last three years,” says Turkel.<\/p>\n
News 12 reached out to management about these concerns but did not hear back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"People living at 790 Concourse Village say the building is continually deteriorating but their rent keeps increasing.
