Maplewood Evictions

I have a piece of news from a site visitor:

I could'nt find any other way to contact you, so just delete this if it's in the wrong area or something.I thought that the Rome, NY Sucks blog might be interrested in knowing that people at Maplewood Garden Apartments are being kicked out. Everyone is recieving eviction notices saying they have to be out by the 7th of March-not for anything that they've done, but because the new owners (based in New Jersey) are in a hurry to build townhouses, and charge two-hundred dollars more for rent then they are currently charging, which will bring it to over $600 per month. This, in an area that can't support this ammount of rent.The Mayor's office knows about it, but has said there's nothing Mayor Brown can do. Assemblywoman RoAnn Destito has been sent information about it, but heas not answered it. The attorney general's office has been contacted be several people about this, and is investigating.Originally, people living here were told that they would have until their leases expired. The owners have taken it upon themselves to change this, and now people are scrambling, not having any idea what to do or where to go, believing up to this point that they still had time.If you or any of your readers know someone living at Maplewood, then you or your readers can easily verify this.Again, I just thought that Rome, NY Sucks would want to know-if nothing more than yet another reason this city is going down the tubes.
