Jacqueline Taylor has lived in her Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority apartment for 28 years.

In the last four years, none of the problems identified during inspections have been fixed, Taylor said.

"They said they'd fix it, put in work orders. I put in so many work orders,” she said. “It's on the computer at the office, and they still ignore it.”

Taylor's flooded basement was featured Wednesday night on Facebook Live by community activist Nate Boyd.

Friday, two volunteer independent contractors from the newly-formed Buffalo United Commerce Coalition visited the apartment to assess the problems.

"They had a sewer issue, which is a biohazard, and they are smelling the biohazard waste in their apartment, and it's very putrid and something needs to be done," said Laura Vazquez.

The coalition said they will snake the drain, pump the waste out, clean it with bleach and industrial chemicals.

They will take care of other issues around the apartment as well, including painting and re-finishing the stairs, taking care of mold on the bathroom ceiling and a bubbling floor, leaky plumbing, peeling walls and faulty electrical outlets.

They will do the work free of charge right away if BMHA doesn't do it first.

"They have a lot of water damage, they have no electrical outlets in any of the bedrooms except for one,” Vazquez said.

Friday, Erie County Health Department workers visited the apartment.

While they weren't authorized to give an interview to Spectrum News, they told Taylor the conditions were "critical."

Erie County Health Department Program Director Tom Muscarella said that designation means workers will do a follow up inspection in three to five business days, giving time for the owner to address the issues.

"We send a warning notice to the owner, along with a phone call if we do have a number to let them know that this critical item exists,” Muscarella said.

If repairs are not made by then, the Health Department refers the case to Buffalo Housing Court.
