THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE UBIQUITOUS IN THE BRONX, particularly in poor, predominantly minority neighborhoods:

Charlotte Sapp says remnants of feces and urine from a flood in her apartment remain on the walls after floodwaters rose from her toilet and bathtub. Sapp, who claims her apartment has flooded six times, says her landlord sent a quarter of a bottle of bleach when she requested cleaning supplies. Sapp claims the stench in her apartment is so bad her kids can’t even sleep in their own beds.

Sad.
