Residents raise health concerns at Northeast Houston apartment complex

February 10, 2026 - 06:42

A growing outcry is emerging from a Northeast Houston apartment complex where tenants report living in hazardous conditions, citing severe infestations, pervasive mold, and dangerous sewage leaks. Residents of the property are now urgently calling for comprehensive repairs and immediate intervention from city health inspectors.

According to numerous accounts from those living on-site, the issues are extensive and worsening. Many apartments are reportedly plagued by aggressive rodent infestations, with rats and mice seen openly in living spaces. Compounding this, persistent mold growth, attributed to chronic water leaks and poor ventilation, covers walls and ceilings, raising serious respiratory health concerns. Perhaps most alarming are the reports of raw sewage backing up into apartments and common areas, creating both a dire health risk and an unbearable living environment.

Tenants have organized, demanding that property management address these critical repair needs without further delay. They are also formally requesting that city officials conduct a thorough health and safety inspection of the entire complex. The situation highlights ongoing struggles with substandard housing conditions in some areas, putting resident health and well-being at significant risk until substantive repairs are made.
