Resident tells commission Little Creek apartments have leaks, high bills and safety concerns

During the public-comment portion of the meeting, Pam Weaver, who identified herself as a resident of the Little Creek complex, reported repeated maintenance issues at her building and asked the commission to help.

Weaver described prolonged water leaks and insufficient insulation and said a furnace ran continuously after she moved in, generating an unusually large electric bill. "My electric bill was $714," Weaver said, adding that other residents — including a pregnant woman and young family — are experiencing electrical and comfort issues. She also said a recent state inspection covered only a subset of the units and that she had been unable to locate property-management contact information.

Director response and next steps: the director acknowledged the complaint, said he would contact Sullivan Development (the developer/owner) and the property manager to determine whether the issues stem from a management communication breakdown or construction/contractor problems, and agreed to follow up with Weaver.

What’s next: staff committed to outreach to the developer and manager and to report any findings back to the commission; Weaver’s allegations remain unresolved pending staff follow-up and any required enforcement or remediation by responsible parties.
