Summary

During this legislative session, residents exposed severe code enforcement failures at Harmony Towers, where elderly tenants have lacked hot water for up to six months, while City Council approved a $200,000 leaf truck grant and a $10,000 budget amendment for Youth Commission advisors.

This session reveals a critical gap between local code enforcement actions and out-of-state landlord accountability, demonstrating the direct challenges vulnerable populations face when municipal systems fail to prompt timely repairs.

Section summaries

0:00-7:00

Call to Order, Invocation, and Remembrance of Citizens

optional

The council session is called to order, and President Bowers leads the invocation to honor several recently deceased Harrisburg community leaders, including water department pioneer M. Williams and local mentor Brian Pendleton.

It contains standard procedural protocols and community obituaries rather than policy debate.

7:00-11:00

Public Comment: Bureau of Codes Enforcement Issues

watch

Resident Jeff Clatt details his personal experiences filing tenant complaints, alleging that the Bureau of Codes actively avoids issuing citations on empty promises of landlord repairs.

This section outlines critical structural flaws in Harrisburg's housing code enforcement system.

11:00-17:00

Public Comment: Harmony Towers Hot Water Emergency

watch

Resident Deb Wire presents physical evidence showing that dozens of her elderly neighbors have spent the winter without hot water because out-of-state managers lied about parts availability.

It is a highly urgent public appeal for intervention in a local senior housing crisis.

17:00-21:00

Public Comment: Transition to Out-of-State Landlords

watch

Resident Julia Deloro explains how Harmony Towers went from being a safe senior building to an unsecure facility managed by an out-of-state landlord who closed the resident computer room, gym, and security patrols.

It illustrates the direct negative consequences of local real estate properties being acquired by detached corporate entities.

21:00-24:00

Budget and Finance Committee Report

optional

Vice President Green outlines the committee's review of the $200k recycling grant for a leaf truck and the standard annual carryover budget reallocation.

It serves as a preliminary review of items that are voted on and discussed in detail later in the meeting.

24:00-25:00

Vote: Resolution 4 of 2025 (Recycling Leaf Truck Grant)

optional

The council votes unanimously to authorize the city to accept a $200,000 state grant to acquire a leaf truck for the Public Works Department.

It is a brief, unanimous vote without any debate or opposition.

25:00-30:00

Resolution 5 of 2025: Discussion and Amendment

watch

The council suspends rules to hear from County Manager Brian McCutchen regarding a $10,000 budget adjustment to secure part-time advisors for the Harrisburg Youth Commission.

It shows exactly how municipal funds are allocated and modified for local civic youth programs.

30:00-33:00

Introduction of New Resolutions and Adjournment

optional

The council introduces resolutions regarding psychological services for the Bureau of Police, new business administration appointments, and the Hotspot Saturdays neighborhood cleanup initiative, referring all to their respective committees.

No actions are finalized; these resolutions are merely assigned to committees for future debate.

Key points

  • Harmony Towers Senior Housing Crisis — Residents from Harmony Towers (formerly Presbyterian Apartments, 322 North 2nd Street) testified that over 20 vulnerable, elderly, and disabled neighbors have had no hot water for three to six months. The building's management was recently taken over by Ly Management, an out-of-state firm based in Texas with New York owners, which residents claim has cut key services and ignored urgent maintenance.
  • Bureau of Codes Enforcement Failures — Tenants reported that the Bureau of Codes has repeatedly delayed issuing citations to out-of-state landlords, opting instead to accept non-binding 'statements of repair.' This practice prevents courts from stepping in, leaves tenants with unresolved safety violations, and suggests that the city's landlord-tenant complaint system is structurally broken.
  • Municipal Budget Rollover and Youth Commission Funding — The council suspended its legislative rules to amend Resolution 5 of 2025, adding a $10,000 allocation utilizing State Grants Fund General Revenue. This funding will support hiring part-time advisors to re-engage local youth and get them involved in municipal government through the Harrisburg Youth Commission.
  • Grant-Funded Public Works Upgrades — Council approved Resolution 4 of 2025, authorizing a $200,000 recycling development grant under Pennsylvania Act 101. The grant will be used to purchase a new Public Works leaf truck, with the remaining balance covered by public works operational savings.

6:57

public comment

7:02

okay this this courtesy

7:12

yes I am Jeff clatt I currently reside

7:16

at 322 North 2

7:19

Street until very recently I was

7:22

previously residing for 23 years at 660

7:26

boa Street I have filed two tenant

7:30

landlord

7:32

complaints with the Harrisburg Bureau

7:34

codes one complaint in November of

7:38

2023 for my first add for my prior

7:42

address and one complaint January 2025

7:46

for my current address while the issues

7:50

were different between the buildings one

7:52

building was 360 Apartments the current

7:56

building is about 140 Apartments

8:00

the results were similar in terms of uh

8:03

my complaint no action was taken IE no

8:08

citations was written to either landlord

8:12

both of which I understand to be out of

8:15

state both complaints related to

8:17

building condition not up to Harrisburg

8:21

code I recently received a text message

8:25

stating that someone in the codes Bureau

8:28

quote at admitted it meaning citations

8:32

rarely does anything to the landlord

8:35

unquote that statement suggests to me

8:39

that the city May rarely write code

8:42

violations if the city does not initiate

8:45

a code VI a code violation then courts

8:49

cannot be invol courts cannot be

8:51

involved and penalties cannot be

8:54

assessed section 8-11 15.99

8:59

cannot be implemented if there's no

9:01

citation to start the process how can a

9:05

landlord ignore a citation the city can

9:08

find and potentially imprison the the

9:14

landlord I have come before this Council

9:17

four times June July and September of

9:21

last year I come before you now in my

9:25

experience related to separate large

9:27

apartment buildings I conclude that the

9:31

city the city's tenant landlord

9:33

complaint system is seriously

9:37

broken the landlord apparently convinces

9:40

the city not to issue a

9:43

citation on the promise that the

9:45

landlord will do something the landlord

9:48

avoids monetary penalty and possibly

9:52

imprisonment if only traffic motor

9:54

vehicle citations were so easy to evade

10:00

this Bureau of Code system needs a

10:03

thorough audit I know that because my

10:06

business for the last 20 years was

10:08

auditing for major Global multinational

10:12

companies thank you very much for the

10:15

opportunity to expound thank

10:19

you thank you is there anyone else my

10:23

right that would like to offer public

10:26

comment okay seeing and hearing no one

10:28

anyone in the middle

10:56

section I'm a very visual person

10:59

thank you my name is Deb wire I also

11:02

live at Harmony Towers 322 North 2

11:05

street I'm in apartment

11:07

1506 and I have hot water 20 of my

11:12

neighbors do not and they have not had

11:15

hot water anywhere from three to six

11:18

months let me repeat that 20 of my

11:21

neighbors have not had hot water for

11:24

three to six months

11:29

see in my picture here our management

11:32

company is in San Antonio Texas our

11:35

owners are in New York and just like Mr

11:38

glad explained I was told by city codes

11:41

that they were holding off citing them

11:44

uh because they've now finally after

11:46

months submitted a um what do they call

11:49

it a statement of repair um we were told

11:53

by our building uh office staff nothing

11:56

until last Monday they put a notice in

12:00

everybody's door and it said that the

12:02

part was on back order and that was the

12:04

first time February that anybody from

12:08

our office has notified

12:10

tenants the office manager spoke to me

12:13

on Friday to tell me that they've

12:15

actually had the part it isn't on back

12:16

order it's been sitting there waiting

12:20

for someone to put it together and

12:21

install

12:23

it our office manager said that so the

12:27

next well that same afternoon uh a

12:29

Cordia van was in our parking lot and uh

12:33

I asked the staff what was happening and

12:35

she said they were putting it in and he

12:37

was going to stay until it was done well

12:39

there's still no hot water and it's not

12:42

done and again because we got vocal and

12:45

got newspapers involved and Facebook uh

12:49

all of a sudden then they wanted to be

12:51

vocal about this we have been sending

12:54

messages to the management company in

12:56

San Antonio Texas for months and not

12:59

getting

13:01

responses we're talking about senior

13:03

citizens disabled people and Veterans I

13:07

don't think that's how the city wants to

13:09

treat those members of our

13:11

community so I beg you to do something I

13:15

don't want to be here tonight I did not

13:16

want to do any TV interviews I thought

13:19

by contacting the Attorney General's

13:21

office HUD city codes Pennsylvania

13:24

Housing Finance Agency that holds the

13:26

mortgage on the building and ly

13:27

management I was so naive I thought it

13:30

would be taken care of and I've been

13:32

involved for a month now I have hot

13:35

water but I'm here speaking on behalf of

13:37

my neighbors who aren't able to come

13:40

might have just be scared you know that

13:42

they might not have a place to live if

13:44

they get vocal about it please get hot

13:47

13:52

it I don't know what you're able to do I

13:58

14:34

this is happening um but one of the

14:36

things U for Council though we really

14:38

14:41

14:44

problem um resolved um so we definitely

14:47

will be able to talk to who we need to

14:49

14:52

type of influence on this I appreciate

14:54

that yes ma'am I do thank you so much

14:57

yes ma'am my time's up and um may I ask

14:59

a question for her this

15:04

um this phone number can you be reached

15:07

at any time during the day or is there a

15:10

time except for Thursday Friday and

15:12

Saturdays um yeah but any any is

15:15

terrible because yeah you should be able

15:18

somebody should have been done this is

15:19

the first time I heard about this six

15:21

months no hot water this is the very

15:24

first time that I've heard about this

15:26

and uh yeah this is ridiculous that

15:28

senior can't have access to hot water so

15:32

two of our people join gyms because they

15:34

have arthritis and and just to go get a

15:36

hot shower they shouldn't have to put

15:38

out money for that and then I was told

15:40

by City coastes well you should get your

15:41

get their rent in escrow can you imagine

15:44

this generation trying to explain to

15:46

them how to do that and why should they

15:49

have to they just want what everybody

15:51

else has what what they're entitled to

15:54

is hot water yeah our city codes

15:57

Department should be able to Force this

15:59

like expeditiously I don't understand

16:02

spoken to them and I know he has

16:06

and we can't but you can't believe what

16:09

you're hearing because I I said get

16:10

notice about the part being on back

16:13

order on a Monday and then Friday I'm

16:15

told it's not in back order we've had it

16:18

so that's also very frustrating you

16:21

can't believe what you hear unless

16:22

you're going to back it up and and

16:24

follow through and and get the truth you

16:27

just can't believe what you hear and

16:29

that's what what we feel city codes is

16:31

doing just letting ly management talk to

16:33

them and tell them okay you know this is

16:35

what we're going to do this and then not

16:37

following up I'm following up I used to

16:39

want to own my own detective agency so I

16:42

call anybody I mean and I get people to

16:45

talk to me so you know you you just

16:47

can't believe what they're telling you

16:49

unless they can back it up with a

16:51

document do you mind waiting until after

16:54

the meeting um so that we can speak to

16:57

you further about how

16:59

it's Bingo night and I hold Bingo for my

17:01

residence but my son and his girlfriend

17:04

are there doing it so I'm just I'll

17:05

message him and say I'm going to wait I

17:07

will gladly do that because we need to

17:09

fix this hopefully it won't take too

17:11

long that's okay no I appreciate that

17:14

thank you

17:16

yes that's

17:18

crazy I'm I don't need four minutes

17:20

17:42

of my knees I need a knee replacement

17:51

don't this man is 77 years old I hope

17:54

you don't mind and we've been living

17:56

here with no hot water in and it's not

17:59

safe because not only that we cannot

18:01

take a shower we can't even do our

18:03

dishes and disinfect them correctly cold

18:05

water doesn't clean dishes I'm old

18:07

school you know and um We complain and

18:10

18:14

were Presbyterian department and even

18:16

then we had issues but not as bad as

18:18

they are now we no longer are owned by

18:21

Presbyterian which was for the elderly

18:24

now it's called Harmony Tower um and

18:27

like she stated Deb who's a president

18:29

there as well they are based out of

18:31

Texas and I did research on them and

18:34

they're slumlords they've been Su from

18:37

different buildings that they have

18:39

worked in other states they just took

18:41

over our building last year in February

18:45

and ever since they did that the

18:48

Privileges and the things that we've had

18:50

have been taken away like she said the

18:51

gym we have a small gym for the

18:54

residents to work out everybody has

18:55

their own key to let themselves in the

18:57

gym is closed we have a computer room

19:00

the computer room is also closed because

19:02

they stated that the elderly were

19:04

watching pornography whatever anyway

19:06

people still need it for other

19:08

things um the upstairs we have a

19:12

penthouse we used to use the penthouse

19:27

open to the public you can be 18 and

19:34

that have moved in a lot of homeless

19:35

people and the building has really

19:37

really has gotten uh dangerous

19:40

especially for the elderly and um we had

19:43

police patroling the building they will

19:44

come around once a day you know and it

19:47
