Residents at Westlake Gardens & Bella Terra Apartments in White Settlement Complain of Black Mold


Residents of the Westlake Gardens & Bella Terra Apartments in White Settlement Complain of Black Mold in their apartments. They have called the apartment complex office repeatedly to no avail and have contacted the City of White Settlement Code Compliance department but they have yet to respond.

In 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people; with asthma symptoms in people with asthma; and with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals susceptible to that immune-mediated condition. The IOM also found limited or suggestive evidence linking indoor mold exposure and respiratory illness in otherwise healthy children.

Other recent studies have suggested a potential link of early mold exposure to development of asthma in some children, particularly among children who may be genetically susceptible to asthma development, and that selected interventions that improve housing conditions can reduce morbidity from asthma and respiratory allergies, but more research is needed in this regard.

This is a serious health problem that probably affects more than just a couple apartments.

Ok guys…. Just because I want to save other people from making the same mistake.

We moved into Westlake Gardens & Bella Terra Apartments in December and we’ve had problem after problem. About a month ago, our upstairs neighbor’s water heater busted in the middle of the night and flooded my apartment and the one next to me downstairs.

We spoke with the maintenance men and the complex people about our concern of black mold forming. We were told not to worry about that cause it’s just water and it will dry.

Well I’ve attached photos of both of our closets that have the mold.

Don’t do it guys. It’s not worth it.

Winston Peters accused of 'race-baiting' attack on Chinese air crew

New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is being accused of "race-baiting" over an attack on Chinese airline crew moving into a former special housing area that was designed to help solve Auckland's housing crisis . In a statement headed " Mt Albert state housing land now in Chinese hands", Peters said some of the former Housing NZ land at 98-130 Haverstock Rd in Sandringham "went to China Southern Airlines people from China and not to ease the housing shortage for Auckland residents". He attached a photo showing a banner in front of a house saying in Chinese and English: "Warmly welcome the leadership from Aviation Services Department to China Southern Airlines Crew Apartment in Auckland, New Zealand." The property was given Special Housing Area status in May 2014, with a requirement 10 per cent of homes must be "affordable. These areas were disestablished when the new Auckland Unitary Plan came into force last Septe...

Atlanta time travel made possible through photo collection

Atlanta is a city of change, with construction constantly reshaping the urban realm. Buildings rise, buildings fall, and as the population of the city grows, so too has the skyline. Now, RentCafe has assembled 10 amazing, interactive “then-and-now” photos to highlight how Atlanta has been reshaped over the last 150 years. While some scenes are hardly recognizable, others illustrate how the city has actually saved some of its oldest structures. Off to the visual journey: ^ The first view is of Margaret Mitchell Square at the intersection of Peachtree and Forsyth Streets in the heart of downtown. The Candler Building in the background still stands today and is being converted into a hotel, while the narrow tower in the foreground of the 1938 image was reduced to just three stories to prevent its collapse during construction of Peachtree Center MARTA Station , which sits below the site. ^ Nothing remains today from this view of Whitehall Street in 1864. Now known as Peachtree, the road...
