My disabled mom was calling around looking for the status on various low-income senior housing recently.
She called Edgewater Plaza and their staff answered her questions about the waiting list, size of apartments, etc. Then she got to the question about the location of the smoking section outside the building.
She can't be near smokers, because of her asthma, allergies and other health problems.
Mom was told where the smoking section was outside AND that they do allow tenants to smoke inside their apartments, but not in the "common hallways." The lady told mom, "I can't smell it when I walk the hallways."
Mom told the woman that that is in direction VIOLATION of HUD's Smoke-Free Policy, "All PHAs must have a smoke-free policy in place by July 31, 2018." That's almost 6 YEARS.
NOBODY is allowed to smoke inside the building per that policy. The woman at Edgewater Plaza told mom, "Well we allow them to smoke inside their apartments and we won't be changing that."
They're violating HUD's rules and ENDANGERING the health of ALL their tenants.
Wonder how HUD feels about that?
Mom wrote Edgewater Plaza off her potential housing list.
Edgewater Plaza is managed by Brothers Redevelopment. You might want to look up their Google Reviews too. read more
