Sincerely, Darin rgan Codes Administrator Cc address file Bob Gaspar, Building Inspector October 10, 2001 To Whom It May Concern, This is a letter requesting someone to come and inspect conditions at the Wheat Ridge Apartment Complex at 6600-6690 west 44' Place. Beginning January 2001, many of us at the complex have had problems with the humidity and moisture accumulating in our apartments and turning into mold patches on the walls and windowsills. The smell of the must and mold has been unbearable at times. The intensity varies from apartment to' apartment, but most have had some problems. "The biggest concern right now is our health. There have been two tenants taken to the emergency room and/or hospitalized with major respiratory - problems. There have been similar symptoms of illness with other adults and the children. The Management Company has been notified of our concerns and illnesses, as well as Beverly Martinez not being able to stand the smell and feeling ill. Beverly has spent many nights with friends and family due to the conditions of her apartment. The Management Company has shown no concern. They say nothing is wrong and that the lye they placed under the apartments is safe and harmless to smell and breath in along with the mold. We need help and want to know how the mass amounts of mold and lye are affecting our families so we can have some sort of peace of mind. We aIi wish it was easier to just pack up and move out, but with rents as high as they are these days that isn't possible for all who have had problems. Please contact Beverly Martinez at 303-463-1653 303-463-0670 for and questions or clarifications. Thank you for your concern and help, The residents of 6600- 6690 Wheat Ridge Gina Skordos at t 'e1.- "(~7/ i ~ ~ ~ ~ . ~ _ ~-~--R~ ~ ~J:~ °~l~ P-~ ~ T_ ` _ ~ ~ ~ 8~ ~ - _ ~ C~~9 a~ ~5 _ _ ~ ~ ~ ii:,l~il~„„lrl„~ii~i~i,~i9,~i,~~l~~~ti~,il~ii~~{{i,,,l~~~i1 _ _ , . _ =:"-y" _ i s Jefferson County Assessor System 1-4uffines4n('",udnty .
