Bayshore apartment developers worked to mislead tenants, pressured health department over TCE contamination
Lydell Apartments opened its door to residents before testing to make sure the site was safe. After they were contamination was discovered they tried to hide it from tenants.
That's unfortunate.
From the article:
The developers of new Bayshore luxury apartments where residents were forced to evacuate due to the detection of a harmful carcinogen flouted health department orders, attempted to prevent government officials from speaking to tenants and minimized environmental issues at the site.
After informing government officials of TCE contamination at the site, developer Cypress Bayshore Residential balked at the language the North Shore Health Department instructed the company to use while informing residents of their exposure, according to records obtained by the Journal Sentinel.
