SUMMARY: Residents of the Southview Apartments in Aberdeen, Mississippi are living in deplorable conditions, including faulty electrical wiring, mold infestations, and sinkholes in the floors. One mother with three toddlers has been dealing with bugs and mold for over a year, and management has not addressed the issue. The property manager, Avis, has been unresponsive, and residents are often scared to speak out due to fear of losing their housing. The city inspector advises residents to document issues, contact management, and then reach out to the city inspector if problems persist. Residents are encouraged not to be afraid to come forward in order to improve living conditions.
