Several months ago the L.A. County Housing Authority (HUD) hired a contractor to paint the interior common areas and exteriors of the four Orchard Arms senior/disabled apartment buildings in the Santa Clarita Valley, North L.A. County.
When residents moved in, they were told that it was permissable to have security screening installed on their patios but they would have to pay someone to construct the framework and install the screening. On the average, residents who did this, paid about $75 each for the materials and labor to have them installed. When the painting was contracted, management, without timely notice, ordered all residents to remove the screening and were told that they could no longer have security screens installed.
We want the Housing Authority to pay the cost of having these destroyed screens replaced on patios where they were removed, and want the ruling denying any resident from having screens installed to be reversed.
These screens made it possible for pet-owning residents to let their pets out of the residences safely. The screens also afford a measure of security from intruders, rats and insects from entering the patio areas.
I AM A LEASE-SIGNING RESIDENT OF ORCHARD ARMS SENIOR/HANDICAPPED APARTMENT COMPLEX AND DEMAND THE REVERSAL OF THE RULING THAT RESIDENTS CAN NO LONGER HAVE SECURITY SCREENING ON THEIR PATIOS.
I ALSO DEMAND THAT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY REPAY THE RESIDENTS WHOSE SCREENS WERE DESTROYED AND/OR REPLACE THE SCREENS AT NO CHARGE FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO HAD INVESTED IN THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION WHEN GIVEN PERMISSION TO DO SO.
THIS DEMAND FOR SECURITY SCREENING ALSO INCLUDES SCREENS FOR RESIDENT PATIOS THAT DID NOT HAVE THEM BEFORE MASS REMOVAL.
