ANDERSON — People living in and around Bingham Square Apartments in Anderson are fed up with the living conditions there.8 months ago WRTV's Rachael Wilkerson walked through the same broken door at Bingham Square apartments. Residents living there say they're still dealing with poor conditions and unanswered calls for help."We just need help. Help the people get out of here," said Kyle Robinson.
On top of that, residents say water has been draining from the Anderson complex into the street for weeks."The way these apartments are especially that one needs to be torn down its been burnt," said Griffin."The conditions of this apartment are horrible. It's bringing our property values down and the conditions live here and I don't understand why they won't fix the water running out of the apartment," she said.
The city of Anderson recently filed a lawsuit against the out-of-state owners of Bingham Square apartments. Mary Randol with the Anderson Housing Authority said the city is struggling with a lack of affordable housing. "We are able to help five of them. That's just a small percentage of the people that need help out here. Unfortunately, we don't have the funding to be able to help everyone unless we receive money from the city or donations," said Randol.
