Eighteen months ago, the Skid Row Housing Trust faced collapse, leading to the sale of 17 properties to Pustilnikov, which tenants hoped would improve their living conditions.
Tenants report increasing issues such as filthy bathrooms, broken kitchens, and the presence of trespassers, which contradicts the expectations of improved living standards post-sale.
Mayor Karen Bass expressed her concern regarding the service cuts in the buildings, emphasizing the importance of safety and care for residents during a news conference.
Pustilnikov acknowledges the previous security and janitorial arrangements were financially unsustainable, leading to the scaled-back services, but he plans to invest in security upgrades.
