A group of tenants who have been displaced for more than half a year from an East Oakland apartment complex protested at their landlord's Oakland home on Sunday morning.
Tenants at Oakland's Coliseum Connections apartment building wereDamage from the flood occurred mainly in the garage area, but the building also sustained damage to the electrical system.
"We are not staying in hotel rooms for pleasure," said Faviola Abendano, a Coliseum Connections tenant in the press release. "There's only so much a 9-5 job can cover." According to a City of Oakland press release from April 2019, Johnson received over $24 million in public funds to build the Coliseum Connections apartment building. Alameda County and the City of Oakland have spent more than $4 million to repair the building so far.
They asked for a 60-day displaced fund for both affordable and market-rate tenants in the Coliseum Connection building, per Oakland Municipal Code 15.60, which states that an owner must provide relocation payments and assistance for tenants who are displaced due to compliance with building, housing and fire codes. Half of the units at the apartment building located near the Coliseum BART station pay market rate for their units while the other half pay below market rate.
