16.
As a result, the City condemned the Property for a second time.
17.
All the then tenants at the Property were required to vacate immediately. I
understand they were provided some limited opportunities to retrieve belongings, although
retrieval was complicated because there was no power or elevator service. I understand that
employees of the City of Newport News coordinated access and provided staff for logistics and
safety for property retrieval on multiple dates over a two-month period following the second
condemnation (between September 1, 2023 and October 31, 2023).
18.
After the former tenants were provided the opportunity to retrieve their personal
belongings but before the Receiver took possession and control of the Property, the Property and
many apartment units were apparently looted and ransacked because the Debtor failed to secure
the exterior of the Property and the units themselves, allowing intruders and squatters in the
building.
19.
What remains of the personal belongings of the then former tenants is now strewn
about the floors, in hallways, stairwells, and apartment units.
20.
Upon the Receiver’s appointment, it immediately secured the Property and has
maintained security, but the damage to the former tenants’ property had already been done.
21.
After appointment of the Receiver, I communicated with City officials about the
situation, and City officials agreed that it was unsafe and logistically impractical to coordinate
further access for the former tenants.
