Mayor Lurie makes 'surprise' visit to troubled Bayview housing complex
Briefly

Mayor Daniel Lurie made a surprise visit to Alice Griffith apartments amid tenant complaints regarding mismanagement by the John Stewart Company. Despite the intended surprise nature of the visit, tenants noted that the property manager had prepared for Lurie’s arrival. During the visit, Lurie did not inspect individual units, missing opportunities to see significant issues like mold and structural damage. Tenants expressed disappointment with the short duration of his visit and their struggles to communicate pressing problems, particularly regarding accessibility and maintenance concerns.
Some tenants were under the impression his visit had been rescheduled and missed it. Tenant Pam Dawson had gone to the grocery store, and was upset to miss the mayor.
Though she wanted to tell Lurie about issues at the property, especially on accessibility and potential disability discrimination, she couldn't keep up with him during his brisk walk around the property.
