Residents in north London face ongoing neglect from Peabody, a major social housing provider, which has left scaffolding up for seven years without completion of repairs. The company has been unresponsive to emails and enforcement notices, leading to concerns about hazardous living conditions. Peabody's poor performance on essential landlord services parallels a worrying trend among housing associations, with decreasing accountability since 2010. Local representatives are often powerless to intervene, while recent changes post-Grenfell have yet to address the broader issues of transparency and responsiveness in social housing management.
Peabody's ongoing failure to act on scaffolding, hazardous conditions, and tenant concerns exemplifies the neglect of social housing providers, with accountability lacking significantly.
Despite requests for action and multiple complaints, Peabody continues to ignore enforcement notices and communication, demonstrating a troubling disregard for tenant welfare.
The shift in focus from tenant services to financial viability by the Regulator of Social Housing has led to increased neglect in the maintenance of social housing.
The Grenfell Tower fire has prompted some change in regulations, yet social housing remains unaccountable, with major housing associations like Peabody avoiding transparency.
