A local woman says she's battled pneumonia, extreme fatigue and weight loss because of toxic mold in her apartment.
The battle began in Feb. 2010 when Zola Blivin, 72, moved into the Kensard Manor Apartments, located along E. 12th Street in Mishawaka.
Blivin says she's called management, the St. Joseph County Health Department and Mishawka Code Enforcement, all to no avail.
While they wouldn't go on camera to defend themselves, Kensard Manor management gave NewsCenter 16 a document stating Blivin's unit passed its annual inspection in both 2010 and 2011.
"I try not to get too upset, but it started with the sneezing, the eyes running itchy, a scratchy throat,” Blivin recalled.
At first, Blivin thought her symptoms may have been caused by excess dust in the carpet. That was until she found apparent mold, peppered behind her furnace filter.
