BATHROOM NIGHTMARE

Richard Rodriguez, 41, who’s paralyzed from the waist down, has lived in the An

drew Jackson Houses in the South Bronx for or 10 years. All that time, he’s dealt with mold. .

“If you were to see my bathroom, you would tell me I have to move out,” he said.

The fungus blackens his kitchen cabinets, his bedroom and his hallway. But the bathroom is his biggest nightmare.

After every shower, Rodriguez’ asthmatic 21-year-old d daughter,ht Jennifer, rushes to her nebulizer. The mold aggravates her condition so much that she only spends two days a week at home.

The rest of the time she crashes on an aunt’s pullout couch in East Harlem.

Rodriguez estimates that he’s filed nearly 20 complaints with NYCHA about the mold over the past decade. Agency workers have painted over the mold a handful of times, he said, but it invariably returns within two months.

“I don’t know what to do anymore,” Rodriguez said.
