Tenants Says ACHA Hasn’t Lived Up To Court Order

The Atlantic City Housing Authority has not complied with an Aug. 18 Superior Court judge’s order to provide a detailed plan for safe, adequate, reliable heat, hot water and gas service to Stanley Holmes Village this winter. The Press of Atlantic City reports a lawyer representing 87 tenants claims ACHA has submitted a blatantly inadequate document — a ‘Plan’ that provides virtually no specifics as to either past or future repairs and which does not propose reasonable and firm timetables. The attorney asked Judge John C. Porto to consider appointing a special master to oversee the Housing Authority’s inspection, maintenance, repair and renovations at Stanley Holmes Village “to protect the health and safety of the residents.”
