Fifth Ward apartment residents say they are living with rodents, bed bugs, and raw sewage while the complex owner is asking the city for millions to build a new complex.
"In this particular situation NHP has been a bad actor on every level," says Houston City Council Member Letitia Plummer. The NHP Foundation is the company that owns Cleme Manor Apartments in Fifth Ward. "They’re HUD supported, which means they’re getting checks top of the month, every month," Plummer adds."I got rid of my furniture, replaced that," she said before naming other infestations. "Well, roaches.
"This has been ongoing. We’ve checked the record, the 311 calls. In the last 24 months, they’ve had over 11 calls to the health department," adds Councilwoman Plummer. "That’s a lot of calls from a habitability health perspective and for them to have never done anything to rectify the situation. They’re bad actors as far as I’m concerned," Plummer adds.NHP boasts on its website it owns 52 properties in 15 states, including four complexes here in Houston.
"This property is subsidized by both the city and the county, and we were voting for us to give upwards of $18 million for them to build this particular property," Plummer explains about NHP's proposed property."Until we put something that’s enforceable in place then there’s no way I can stand behind this vote," Plummer says.
