Dangerous living conditions are leading to demands that a public housing leader in Minneapolis be fired. At Heritage Park in the Near North neighborhood, boarded windows, broken balconies and cracked foundations provide clues to a hazardous situation indoors. Minneapolis City Councilmember Pearll Warren recorded a video last week in which she toured apartment units covered in mold and crumbling from within. Her narration was a poetic plea for change. "In nearly 200 units offline, empty, uninhabitable, 200 opportunities lost, 200 doors closed, 200 reminders that neglect is not an accident, it's a choice," Warren said.

WCCO saw one of the units up close through a window. Resident Eddie Robinson said it was promised to him by management after his apartment was damaged in a flood.

"They were supposed to repair this for us to move into," he said. Almost two years later, nothing has changed. Mold still coats the walls along with holes in the ceiling. Meanwhile, he said the building housing his current apartment has a problem. When asked how he's handling the delays with management, Robinson said, "Right now, we in court."
