@kcur893 Kansas City has backed off its promise to do emergency repairs at the troubled North Lawn apartment complex. The city originally allocated $500,000 for fixes after tenants reported being without power for days. That was three weeks ago — and no repairs were ever done, forcing several residents into homelessness. Tenants at the complex, who unionized with @KC Tenants back in 2023, have been fighting for years to get improvements after sewage backups, pest infestations, lack of running water and power outages. Now the neglectful owner, Yisroel Levovitz, is selling the property and seemingly getting off scot-free, while Kansas City says tenants will likely need to move out. KCUR’s Celisa Calacal and Savannah Hawley-Bates report on the long struggles of tenants at North Lawn, and how the city’s decision leaves them with little help. 🎤 Hosted by Celisa Calacal & Savannah Hawley-Bates 🎬 Filmed and produced by Zach Perez 📝 Edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansascity #tenants #landlord ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
