     Aponte declared under oath the following:
       The living conditions in Las Gladiolas are very far from
       being sanitary and decent. Before 2001, when the process
       of relocation started, all the apartments received
       satisfactory ratings on the annual inspections. Since
       2001 the condition of the 4 towers has deteriorated
       rapidly. The vacated apartments are filled with debris,
       dirty water, and old clothes left there by the previous
       tenants. Overall, most apartments have broken sinks and
       water filtrations [sic]. The complex is experimenting
       [sic] an infestation of plagues that include rats,
       cockroaches, mosquitoes and bees. There has been almost
       no efforts to fumigate, only one, but it was only a few
       apartments.    The handrails are rotting, there is a
       deficient illumination of the premises (especially in
       common areas) and the storage rooms on every floor are
       filled with debris and dead animals. The parking area
       has no illumination and the grass around it is not
       trimmed as it should be. The sewers constantly overflow,
       the recreation areas for the children are completely
       abandoned and vandalized, and the basketball courts are
       semi-painted [sic]. . . . Out of the ten (10) elevators
       only two (2) are partially working. It is getting worse
       and worse with the passing of time. It was not like this
       before they decided to implode the complex.
