Brookline Housing Authority

I've had Nerry as my manager for over a decade and at that time, She was always understanding, helpful and resourceful as well. I thne had Carol who recently "no longer work there". I am now with Kelly, who I haven't met yet, but I am sure she's great :0 ) As far as the the "office staff" enounters, I haven't had much experience with although I had a time when an employee was belittling me was extremely rude over the phone with me. I had reported the conversation(years ago) and I received an apology by the upper management team, which was nice. As far as the buildings, I do know there have been several occasions mice have been an issue and at some locations, RATS are a huge problem on the exterior of the building, parking garage and playground. BHA had a project done recently and at one point rats seem to find another place to run, but they are back. I believe this is a community issue and not just BHA. I have never experiences roaches but would hope the housing authority would address that immediately as roaches like to travel. As a resident, we also need to take ownership to be sure the following are kept up to par in our apartments :Dirty dishes in the sink, Crumbs in the floors or counters, Garbage, Pet food on the floor and excess moisture. As a housing resident, we need to take ownership in our community, we as residents need to teach our children to not liter as well. I see it a lot. It shouldn't be the maintences responsibility to pick up our trash. When residents are taking out trash, we need to be mindful, trash should be in the trash, not on the side. Those rats will tear it up and come ack looking for more. I can agree with most comments that ALL apartments are very outdated and they should reconsider where their fund are applied too. Most of Boston Housing buildings are brand new and updated and just unsure why.

These apartments are not safe to live in if you have health issues like asthma. The buildings are infested with mice and roaches. Which goes against health and safety. The exterminators never come when they say they are and when they do come they do nothing.

One of the worse places you could ever live they are infected with roaches, mice, and all types of bugs all year long. The Matinence doesn’t do anything to fix the units they don’t even care about overcrowding. Whoever is funding these apartments needs to rip every single building down and renovate them badly. These are the worse apartments ever, and they only care for specific races of people. The housing authority is terrible, the apartments are terrible, and the housing managers are terrible. Choosing to live here should be a last resort in my opinion.

Worst place ever. They should close all their buildings because of their massive mouse problem. Infants have to live with mice. Unfortunately nobody cares about it. Never seen messed up apartments like that before. Make sure not to apply for Brookline Housing. It's a way too nasty.
