Homeowner Says She's Trapped By Mold Problem

A mother of three on the South Side of Chicago says she's trapped. She's the owner of a condominium she says was damaged by flooding when other condo owners foreclosed.
Melba Brown said she blames her illnesses on mold spreading all over her 3-flat condo building since winter. She said the pipes there burst, sending out a flood of water.
"I'm upset because of my health. I know something is going wrong in my body," Brown said.
As of Wednesday, no one had been forced to fix the problem and the building near 63rd and Drexel was falling apart. CBS 2's Pamela Jones found it's been happening in more neighborhoods as the number of foreclosures rise.
Both of Brown's neighbors foreclosed and moved - and attorneys said the condominium association that would have insured against the damage is gone, too.
