HOUSTON – A day after residents exposed deplorable living conditions at a Houston apartment complex, federal and local elected officials saw the problem firsthand.

KPRC 2, with the permission and invitation of one of the tenants at Cullen Park Apartments , asked Houston City Councilwoman Carolyn Evans-Shabazz and Congressman Al Green to visit the property in order to see how they can hold the landlord accountable following widespread reports of severe health and safety hazards, including mold infestations, rodents, and potential sewage leaks.

Within just a few minutes of seeing the situation, Congressman Al Green declared the property “uninhabitable” and is now proposing new legislation to protect low-income tenants following a report by KPRC 2 that exposed the problems.
