First look in the Costes rouge district, in Onet-le-Château: several HLM managed by Rodez Agglo Habitat. Old buildings, from the 70s, but rather well maintained, with entrances redone not long ago, it shows. No major problems here, except perhaps the lack of light at the entrance to the buildings. This resident in her fifties paid the price last week:
There are 3 or 4 steps, and that's where I slipped on some frost. I fell, I hurt my foot, I bruised a nerve. With a light under the porch I would have seen the frost and I would not have fallen, it's dark there, especially when I work at 6:30 in the morning, it's dangerous.
Overall, in several neighborhoods, no major problems to report for residents of social housing managed by Rodez Agglo Habitat.
On the other hand, if you go to the countryside, that's where you can find poorly maintained social housing. For example, in Moyrazès, where Jean-Michel lives, in a 50 m² one-bedroom apartment, managed by the Aveyron Habitat organization.
The wooden windows in her kitchen are falling apart, letting in the cold of winter. Water has been seeping into his living room since the organization installed reversible air conditioning, leaving a bare concrete block wall outside his home. Major insulation problems and especially mold as soon as it rains:
I had to throw out my sofa, it was moldy from the water that flowed on it. Aveyron Habitat called me to change the radiators, except that in my kitchen, as the window is no longer waterproof, I have water flowing on the electric radiator, it's dangerous.
Contacted, the Aveyron Habitat organization did not wish to react for the moment.
