However, I need your help with a problem we are experiencing In Waynesboro. My staff, the City Council Members, and I have received numerous complaints about the living conditions at Briarwood Apartments. We have received multiple complaints for wet and moldy carpet, mold on the walls and plumbing leaks. Residents have reported problems with the electrical service in the apartments. We have found secondary exits screwed and nailed closed. These are dangerous and unhealthy conditions. Our City Manager called early last year and requested that HUD conduct an inspection of the complex. Within a few weeks, the management company made improvements to several units. However, most of the other units remained unimproved. I would like to request on behalf of the City of Waynesboro that HUD visit Briarwood Apartments and conduct a site inspection of random apartments. Again, please select and make the inspection of random units in the complex. I have attached an inspection done recently by the Fire Department of a unit that was required to be condemned. There are many more like this. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact our City Manager, Jerry Coalson, at {706) or (706) (cell). ly yours. Mayor GrrY Council Alberta J. Anderson James Jones Richard H. Byne Brenda L. Lewis Bill Tinley Willie R. Williams Mayor Gregory A. Carswell, Jr. City manager Jerry L.
