"Subject: Risk of spreading COVID-19 to Pacific Inn residents (Many of the residents are seniors)Re: Pacific Inn225 112th Ave NE,Bellevue, WA, 98004, United StatesTo whom it may concern,On behalf of the tenants at Pacific Inn, I am sending you this letter to bring to your attention the imminent danger we are about to face due to the unnecessary construction our landlord and his management are about to implement. Summary:-Building management is forcing tenants to accept that they must enter their apartments to upgrade cabinets during the pandemic. This is a new construction which was not started previously.-These upgrades are non-essential and none of the residents have requested them. Everything is functioning fine in the apartments and there is no urgency. The residents were not informed of this in the past. -Workers are conducting work in 200 to 300 sq. ft. studio/lofts where there is no ventilation. Workers are in an enclosed area less than 6 feet away from tenants for multiple-days.-Bathroom access is through the kitchen meaning that there will be direct exposure to potential COVID virus and inability to keep distance from the workers and all surfaces accessed by them.-We worry that even if one person gets infected, the entire building community will be put into danger due to this as this can spread very fast in our small community where many of the residents are seniors. We are desperately asking for your assistance to intervene with the building management from going forward with this unnecessary upgrade of the kitchen since this work has never been started before and is deemed non-essential.Please see attached a copy of the notice that the building has provided to the tenants. We cannot sleep at night thinking that we are not going to be safe in our homes, and the way that the building is enforcing this upon us has left us unprotected and unsafe without having a choice. We want to protect the health of vulnerable tenants and our families. You are our last hope. Please help us.Sincerely,Pacific Inn's concerned tenants" - Pacific Inn's tenants
