Seniors in a Kennedy Boulevard apartment building who endured a monthlong leaky roof, have gotten their pleas heard and repairs have begun, according to a city official.

Michael Mulcahy, the city?s property maintenance code official, met with The Jersey Journal yesterday to address the residents? concerns and issues with Riveredge Management.

Last week, seniors in the building complained the owners of their apartment building were not addressing their concerns about a leaky roof that seeped water from the third floor to the first.

Mulcahy confirmed that Riveredge Management LLC, which owns several hundred units in Bayonne, has been fined ?$7,973 for prior heat issue complaints in other units," not exclusive to the 102-106 Kennedy Blvd. building.

?If they don?t comply, we issue violations and summonses,? Mulcahy said. ?Within 12 hours they will be in court. My office cannot respond to what we?re not aware of.?

Stephen Gallo, business administrator, confirmed that the Fire Department visited the apartment on Feb. 5 about the leaky roof, and on Feb. 10, the building had a heat issue.

Mulcahy said he reached out to officials of Riveredge Management and repairs on the moldy and water-stained ceilings were in the process of being done by the owner?s contractors.

?New Sheetrock and roof cement repairs were made today,? Mulcahy said.

?For three years I?ve had them in the court,? Mulcahy said in regards to the violations issued. ?I?ve sat down and met with them. They?ve pleaded guilty to the seven heat complaints (recently).?

Calls to Riveredge Management by The Jersey Journal were not returned.

As for the residents? concerns of the roof?s structural integrity, Mulcahy said city officials will ?look into it immediately.?

Dorothy DeVenuta, who complained about the ?unlivable? conditions in her apartment, was relieved that her ceiling was being repaired.

?They fixed the ceilings on the spots that were bad,? DeVenuta said. ?I?m very happy about them coming out to fix it. I hope they fix the roof right, so this doesn?t happen again.?

DeVenuta was critical about about one thing.

?They made a big mess on my floor and I had to clean it,? she said. ?I had nicer ceilings, but what are you going to do about it? My friends were asking me for autographs.?

This is the HOLDING COMPANYfor RIVERVIEW MANAGEMENT. THE FOUNDER,S NAME IS NATHAN PERLOWITZ. Tenants living in their horrible buildings throughout Hudson County need to start comparing notes. Housing inspectors will not do their job. Write to the Atttonrey General's Office.

These people specialize in vacating rent- controlled apArtments and raising the rents.

Your point is well taken: The Jersey Journal indicated that the doors leading to the fire escape from tenant's apartment were painted shut. This means that either incompetent inspectors inspected the building or it was not inspected properly at all.

Riveredge Management is a horrible company. The tenants living at 500 Garfield Avenue now have to wonder if the building as a whole is structurally sound. I would not risk living in that building with my family.

It is sad. working class and middle- class families who earn less that $150,000 per year are in bad shape trying to find affordable housing in a well maintained building in a decent neighborhood in Jersey City where you don't have to double as a Navy Seal.
