Blind Paton blush principle, living without water, electricity; Two men hoped to shine light under conditions – wbrz

Baton Rouge – After finding a tenant living in dirt, two men do what they can to help. They contacted 2 of you, hoping to emphasize the horrific conditions of life of the person and the landlord, who did not make any support.

The man has been living in a house on East Boulevard for at least 20 years. It has no running water and minimal electricity. He does not want to be identified, but says he has not taken a shower for a year, which is how long he has been in a wheelchair. Although he is not able to walk up and down the stairs as he leaves the house to get food, he throws his wheelchair down the front steps and descends down. Then he has to extract his wheelchair. Sometimes it can be difficult not because of his inability to walk, but because he cannot see.

Dri Ingram found him outside the church of St. Agnes three months ago, struggling to push his wheelchair up a hill. He was trying to get to Sonik for eating.

“Nobody looks at it,” Ingram said.

Ingram helped him in Sonik and returned him home. Ingram noticed that the outside of the house seemed to be rotting and climbing in several places. Inside the garbage, I fused the floor and smelled like a toilet. Ingram’s friend Richard Mahoni joined, helping to clean the house and secure the man on a bed and a comment.

The house is in rough shape. The bathroom toilet is broken, the kitchen sink has fallen to the floor, the garbage and old furniture are arranged in a bedroom, and part of the floor is missing. The tenant tells that a few years ago a pipe burst during a cold click and the landlord never repaired.

According to the office of the tax appreciate of Eastern Baton Rouge, the property is one of the 50 Baton Rouge properties owned by Collis Temple. Temple did not return calls on Thursday.

Last June, the tenant said he had stopped paying rent because of the horrific living conditions. The expulsion rises above his head.

Ingram and Mahoni say that people take advantage of the tenant and what he has little by stealing his belongings and money. So far, the assistants cannot find anyone else who joins the battle and make the man live in the safe space.

“Someone has to help this person,” Ingram said.

The tenant was recently transferred to a district hospital, where he was quickly checked and released. Ingram says that it soon contacted the state, but the state has determined that there are no signs of abuse or neglect and is not able to link them to the services.
