Ashton Condel, a housing justice organizer, is escorted out of City Hall by SAPD after demanding a meeting with Mayor Ron Nirenberg to discuss"dangerous" living conditions at the Seven Oaks Apartments.
Tuesday's incident was the latest escalation in a push by Seven Oaks tenants and TOP to have the city intervene to correct what they say are inhumane living conditions and unfair evictions at the complex. Officers briefly put one of TOP Housing Justice Organizer Ashton Condel's hands behind his back before forcing the housing advocate out of the building and locking the doors behind the exiting protesters.
While Nirenberg never meet with the protesters Tuesday, Condel eventually told the group that he'd received word the mayor would send a staffer to the apartment complex next Tuesday., Nirenberg said the city has already offered"an array of services" to Seven Oaks residents and that the mayor's staff will meet with them in the"near future."
What's more, city officials also are pursuing actions against Achieve Investment Group, the Austin-based property investment company that owns the complex, according to Nirenberg. So far, the city has issued 24 citations for a total of $7,200 to the property owner for violations it didn't repair, according to the mayor's statement.
