Ralph Suarez Santos, mid-March in his Cedar Court apartment.
NORWALK, Conn. Ralph Suarez Santos and Robert Pascarelli are on the warpath about what they describe as intolerable conditions at Cedar Court Senior Housing – bedbugs, rats, water that’s brown, water that is too cool for a soothing bath or to wash dishes well.
Other residents, who decline to be identified, downplayed the bedbug problem, blaming it on a resident who has too much stuff in her apartment and saying management has “sprayed and sprayed.” They also described poor water quality and temperature but were chiefly upset about drug deals happening in the parking lot at night. There are rats by the garbage bin, but a resident’s cat has been known to kill them, they said.
