Corporate Neglect Forces Apartment Sale | Lexington News

Lexington city officials are moving to seize and sell apartment buildings owned by the DeRosa Group, a company hit with over $425,000 in fines for code violations across 63 properties — including Crystal Gardens, where 21 units were condemned. Residents like Susun Cruse, who’s lived there since 2021, say conditions have deteriorated sharply after the company took over management in 2023, leaving her apartment unsafe and her health at risk. Despite mounting penalties, DeRosa has paid only a fraction, ignoring media requests while promoting landlord training courses. With city help limited and rental income requirements out of reach, displaced tenants face an uncertain future as corporate neglect collides with community resilience.
