Garden Terrace Union members march to the home of the man who manages Garden Terrace for its owner.
At Durhamâs Garden Terrace Apartments in Lakewood, resident Maryeri Sarmiento is tired of being ignored.Â
Her apartment is riddled with maintenance concerns, she told the
INDY through a translator, and her requests for repairs regularly go unanswered. Wood is rotting under the kitchen sink, and mold is growing on air vents in the bathroom. Water seeps under the front door when it rains, she says, and a wooden cabinet is missing its fourth wall.
