EVERETT In the past few months, tenants at the Grand Apartments on Rockefeller Avenue say their lives have become a nightmare of epic proportions.
Stephen Teixeira, 52, said he never knows when his new landlord will turn off the buildings water. Hes started keeping a spare water jug in his bathroom in case he needs to flush the toilet. Teixeira, who works as a caregiver, is even more concerned for his neighbors. Theyre older adults and some live with disabilities.
The Grand Apartments, a three-story apartment building constructed in 1928, is no longer the home Teixeira and his neighbors have loved. Most of the tenants moved in more than a decade ago. One has lived at the Grand for more than 30 years.
Since August, however, residents have lived in fear of their new landlord.
We just never envisioned it was going to be this way, Teixeira said. I just dont see how this can be legal.
Residents believe the new owners are attempting to bully them out of the building. Teixeira began documenting issues at the Grand Apartments and posting the videos to YouTube about a month ago. He said he began doing so, because he is afraid someone will burn down the building. After posting the first video, Teixeira started finding nails near his tires.

(40,153 posts)This building is hazardous and unsafe. These people need assistance in getting placed in new apartments and safer environments. I hope they get the help they need.
The treatment these people are getting from the new owners is ugly and another example of how horrible people can be and how easily some people behave like mobsters when it is about money.
