The Boston Housing Authority is coming under fire for an accessibility problem at an apartment complex it manages.
Montes has Spina Bifida, which can happen when a baby’s spinal cord doesn’t develop properly in the womb. She said she has missed multiple doctors' appointments for that, among other conditions, because she couldn't get out of her own apartment in the public housing facility at 19 Monsignor Reynolds Way.

Most people have been taking the stairs since a flyer was taped to the first-floor elevator on Sept. 14 stating the elevator was out of service"until further notice."
