Families living in a New Jersey building are being forced out of their homes with only 24 hours’ notice after the city condemned their building
One of the buildings in question is 501-15 on West 7th Street. It has a total of 40 apartment units spread across four floors, housing more than 80 families, most of whom are Hispanic, and includes seniors, women and children.
The Division of Inspections flyer note stated that the building structures on West 7th Street have been declared unfit for human habitation, referring to a lack of maintenance constituting a hazard to health and safety. A city task force said conditions inside -- such as mold, water leaks and fire hazards -- were too unsafe.
Many residents are now trying to figure out where to go and what to do next. On Wednesday, outraged families marched to city hall demanding answers. Mayor Adrian O. Mapp attempted to placate the crowd of more than 100, saying"we know what occurred is very upsetting for all involved," while throwing blame at the landlord's feet.
