A group of tenants and activists has been pushing against what it sees as “unfair” eviction notices and subpar conditions at Seven Oaks Apartments, such as air conditioning issues, a lack of hot water, water damage, and roaches.
“We want public support,” said TOP Housing Justice Organizer Ashton Condel. “We want him to stand strong with us. We want him to issue a public statement. We want him to meet with the tenants here to understand the severity of what we’re going through. And we want him to start putting pressure on Achieve Investment Group and James Kandasamy in the form of written letters, emails and phone calls.
“We’ve issued them notices. They didn’t fix it fast enough -- what we consider fast enough -- and now we’re in the citation phase. And I’m hoping that encourages them to make the necessary repairs for the people that are living there or the future people that are going to live there as well,” said Development Services Director Michael Shannon.Colin Strother, a spokesman for Achieve Properties, told KSAT that the 254-unit property was already in bad shape when the company acquired it.
“The biggest challenge we’ve had thus far is residents not submitting work orders and then denying us access -- our repair people access -- to the property. If we don’t know about it and we can’t gain access to the property, we can’t fix it,” Strother said.
