JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A woman living in one Westside Apartment complex says the squatters have returned.<\/p>\n
Last week, we showed you the extensive damage done to Wilson Boulevard apartments that residents, like Karen Jennings, say was caused by squatters. <\/p>\n
Since our first story aired last week, she says the complex put up black screens on the residents\u2019 windows, but she showed Action News Jax\u2019s Madison Foglio firsthand how that\u2019s doing nothing to keep the squatters out.<\/p>\n

She says she still hasn\u2019t heard back from them.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just getting ridiculous because they are getting worse,\u201d said Jennings. \u201cThey said they\u2019re not going nowhere and they meant exactly what they said.\u201d <\/p>\n Legacy Family Communities LLC owns several properties in Jacksonville, including 122 West Apartments in the Westside. <\/p>\n We spoke with one resident there who asked that we not share her name out of fear of retaliation. She says her complex also has a squatter problem.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m moving out because of the squatters and maintenance and just the fact that I don\u2019t even know who to talk to about the squatters,\u201d she said. \u201cWe call, we email, we did all that, and there\u2019s still squatters everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n Legacy Family Communities LLC also owns Ginger Park Apartments on the Westside. We spoke with one resident who lives there and did not want to go on camera. He told Action News Jax\u2019s Madison Foglio that his complex also has a problem with squatters.<\/p>\n We reached out to Legacy Family LLC via email and went to their office. We were told to leave the property and that they cannot talk to us. They also never replied to our emails. <\/p>\n Action News Jax also reached out to the Jacksonville Housing Authority about 122 West, Ginger Park Apartments, and the other apartment complexes they own to see if they received funding from the government. We\u2019re still waiting to hear back.<\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: <\/b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a>]<\/b><\/p>\n [SIGN UP: <\/b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a>] <\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/b><\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n Action News Jax Top Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A woman living in one Westside Apartment complex says the squatters have returned.
