The suit claims the water lines at Aspen Place had “presented long-term maintenance problems affecting the delivery of essential services to tenants (such as water) well before condemnation.”

Residents rushed to move their belongings from the buildings, with help from friends, strangers and local charities.

“Naturally, the systemic water-related problems at Aspen Place, which were both realized and latent, were not disclosed to eventual residents before they entered their leases,” the lawsuit claims. “Indeed, few, if any, would have entered leases had they been suitably apprised that the pipes running through the complex were liable to burst over Christmas; sewage was prone to back up in their market-rate apartment; or they may well find themselves completely deprived of water and the entire complex condemned.”
