‘I don’t have any more patience’: San Jose apartment tenants protest poor conditions

SAN JOSE TENANTS are fed up with years of longstanding problems at their apartment complex — and took their complaints to the property owner’s front door.

A dozen tenants from Summerwind Apartments near the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Jose gathered Friday at an upscale neighborhood in Saratoga to protest issues in their complex such as black mold, lack of hot water, pest issues and persistent car break-ins due to the lack of security. Tenants have filed multiple code enforcement complaints, but said the longstanding issues still remain.
