977 Mohawk Rd East is a building of mostly seniors. For over a year now they have been operating with no superintendent and common area cleaning only once or twice a week. Public Health recommends cleaning of high contact surfaces twice a day! Tenants are worried about a COVID-19 outbreak, like the ones seen in long term care homes.
This Wednesday January 13th ACORN members and tenants from 977 Mohawk Rd East came together on Zoom to have a phone blitz. 11 members called into Drake Property Management Demanding that they follow Public Health recommendations for Apartment building during Covid19.
Public Health Recommendations have not been made mandatory in Hamilton, leaving tenants whose landlords aren’t following recommendations with no recourse. ACORN members also called into the mayor’s office demanding that these recommendations be made mandatory immediately!
