“They have rigged up some kind of situation where when they flush the toilet, it will come out into the yard,” resident Leo Scott said.
After the Local 4 Defenders brought his complaint to the attention of city officials, a group of city and county workers showed up to help the homeowner. Their help has given a local family a second chance to have a safe and clean home.
“We pulled together as many partners as we could around the needs of the family,” said David Bowser, Director of Human Services for the city of Detroit.
