Evergreen Gardens in Soundview has been operated by Nelson Management since late 2021. This is just one of many stories of families living in conditions cited in a state audit released Jan. 16 by State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, which found mold, water damage and other hazardous conditions at Evergreen Gardens, a Mitchell-Lama development in Soundview. Park wishes she could leave Evergreen Gardens but is afraid she cannot afford to do so. While reporting at the complex, a Bronx Times reporter was removed from the property multiple times by the property manager and was followed by security while attempting to speak with residents. “Every resident in a Mitchell-Lama home deserves a safe and habitable apartment,” DiNapoli told the Bronx Times in a statement.
