ATLAS APARTMENT RESIDENTS EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT CONDITIONS

(Richmond, IN)--Some residents of Richmond’s Atlas Apartments near the Depot District are sounding off about new management and the conditions that exist.  Atlas recently became managed by the Muncie-based Middletown Property Management.  According to one resident, one tenant has gone nearly the entire winter without heat.  Another tenant claims to have multiple leaks that are going unaddressed.  In Muncie last fall, residents lined up at a council meeting to voice similar concerns regarding some of the more than one thousand units operated by Middletown.  Middletown had not responded to questions about the Atlas situation until the story aired Friday morning.  They have indicated they’ll have a statement next week.  68 elderly and disable people live at Richmond’s Atlas Apartments.
