It’s the stuff of nightmares that Oakland’s Northgate residents say they can’t wake up from.
OAKLAND — The apartments were supposed to be among the city’s affordable solutions for elderly, low-income residents — some lifelong Oaklanders, others immigrants — who couldn’t afford to live elsewhere.
It’s the stuff of nightmares for Oakland’s Northgate dozens of residents. One tenant of seven years, military veteran John Sagady, recalled suffering dozens of bedbug bites over nearly a year before the property manager addressed the infestation. Last week, an electrical short in her stove caused sparks to fly. “I cannot even cook in my own home because it’ll start a fire,” Yuan said.
Officials for the property manager, Related, said they inspect the units often, citing a recent sweep of 24 units at random that revealed no sign of bedbugs.
