Executive blames tenants for rats and roaches in New Castle housing
Charles J. Kraus, executive director of the Lawrence County Housing Authority, says infestations in New Castle family housing projects stem from tenants. He asserts the lease requires tenants to keep areas clean and authorizes repairs and pest control, while tenants blame the authority for not exterminating vermin. Kraus notes responders spray units weekly with tenant permission, cites heavy call volume, and defends immediate repairs. He also says vandalism losses fall to the authority and that the authority maintains decency, safety, and sanitary conditions per lease obligations.
