Residents of Bay House Apartments voiced their concerns during a recent government meeting regarding the aftermath of a fire incident that severely impacted their living conditions. Multiple tenants reported significant damage to their apartments, primarily due to smoke and water from firefighting efforts.

One resident, Tamayo, highlighted the lack of communication from the apartment management and local authorities, stating that despite suffering smoke damage, they had not received any follow-up or guidance on how to proceed. Another tenant described the dire state of their apartment, noting that mold had developed on ceilings and floors, making the living environment hazardous. They expressed concern for their health and the potential for similar issues in neighboring units.

The meeting also revealed that some residents were not allowed near the fire site due to safety concerns about possible contamination. This has left many feeling anxious about their exposure to harmful substances during the incident.

Residents are now seeking clarity on the next steps for remediation and support, emphasizing the urgent need for action from both the apartment management and local officials to address their health and safety concerns.
