GREATER NEWARK HUD TENANTS COALITION
Tenant Harassment: The Living Nightmare of the Deans
For Immediate Release – Contact: Bill Good (908) 347-1422, TenantOrganizer@gmail.com
In the 1980s Deborah Deans and Debra Montgomery, daughter and mother respectively, moved into a beautiful apartment on 129 Chancellor Avenue in a privately-owned complex where they have lived since. Their apartment is affordable in comparison to their neighboring units through a rent control law. Unfortunately, Newark also has a vacancy decontrol law, which allows rents to rise 25% each time a tenant moves out of a rent controlled apartment. This law encourages turnover and occasionally leads to landlord harassment to pressure tenants to move. Is this what is happening to Deborah Deans and Debra Montgomery?
129 Chancellor Ave. is owned by Apollo Real Estate and managed by Radiant Management. Last July, sewage backed up into their basement storage, causing Ms. Deans and Ms. Montgomery to lose $20,000 worth of sentimental valuables, clothing, and furnishings. On Dec. 29, 2008, Ms. Deans found her vehicle badly scratched on the rear bumper. Since placing a complaint, security is no longer provided in parking lots. Hammering from the ceiling, banging, jumping and running are some of the most frequent forms of noise that Ms. Deans and Ms. Montgomery experience. The tenants withheld their rent after the management refused to take action on the noise and a letter to cease was issued to their neighbors. The noises have again become a daily occurrence. In May the tenants experienced fumes coming into their apartment. This caused severe allergic reactions, a swollen tongue, face, and throat and a huge increase in blood pressure, resulting in overnight hospitalization. The family’s windows have been covered up, cutting off ventilation. Their electrical wiring already precludes them from installing an Air Conditioner for respiratory problems, even though the doctor has prescribed one. Ms. Deans’s vehicle was scratched again and keyed in late May. Recently, feces are backing up from their bathtub and toilet into the apartment. All of these problems are recurring.
Nevertheless, these tenants refuse to be intimidated or to move. These problems are not the first that they face at 129 Chancellor. Their previous battles have caused the city’s code enforcement officials to engage previous owners and make code mandated changes. They want to remain in their apartment, which they love, and to continue living in a dwelling that is part of a vanishing stock of affordable housing in Newark, NJ.
