As the Eastbrook saga continues, The Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Housing is now involved. The Housing Authority purchased Eastbrook apartments in 2005 for $2.8 million. Several months after the purchase it was discovered, there were major structural and environmental problems. In 2007, it was mandatory for all tenants to move out and the Housing Authority hasn’t received rental income since.
The Housing Authority’s loss of income has prompted them to sue Sparks Engineering, the company of Wilmington City Councilman Ron Sparks, which noted structural problems during their inspection of Eastbrook but recommended the Housing Authority purchase it from Walmark LLC anyway. A trial in the Sparks case is set for April 12.
