Multiple tenants at apartment complain about mold problem
DEL CITY, Okla. (KFOR) — News 4 has received several complaints from Oklahomans regarding their apartments being overrun with mold.
They say management with the Heights on Forty4 has made temporary fixes, which have only been making it matters worse.
That is why they turned to News 4 for help.
'When we went up there, they had freshly painted everywhere around, and they said it was a no mold and no flooding going on,' said Wenoka Williams, a tenant.
Williams had believed them when she was told that. However, Williams says that she should have listened to the warnings she received when first moving in.

'When we first moved in there, our neighbors across the way told us they just moved out like a month ago because of the flooding and mold,' Williams said.
'It was like about two years we had been complaining about it,' said Shawn Williamson, another tenant. 'Then they moved us over here, to this apartment, and then two months after that, they moved my neighbors in over there, and they had the same issue.'
Williams and her family were moved out of the apartment last week because of how bad the flooding and mold got.
News 4 tried checking out the apartment, but were asked to leave.
Williams was glad to be in a different apartment, until they saw it too, had mold.
'I'm tired of this,' Williams said. 'I said, y'all steady talk about what you're going to do and nothing is happening.'
She says every time maintenance has come out, they don't apply a permanent fix.
'They patched the ceiling yesterday, but still, when they flush the toilet up over there, it still falls down,' Williams said.
News 4 went to speak with management, but were told no manager was there.
We then called the company that apparently owns the apartment complex, Ghan and Cooper Commercial Properties, but they didn't answer, and we haven't heard back.
Williams hopes for better days ahead.
'You want more money, but you're not fixing anything,' Williams said. 'Something needs to be done.'
Williams told News 4 she might have to find a new place to live if something isn't done soon.
She's worried for her and her family's health, but doesn't want someone else to live their experience.
