U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio called on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to correct problems at two Jacksonville apartment complexes where he said mold, pests and chronic disrepair create unacceptable living conditions for residents.
Rubio said his staff went to Eastside Terrace Apartments on April 21 and Eastside Gardens Apartments on April 22.
