WARNING FOR COUNTRY LANE APARTMENTS
BUILDING 1411 WARNING: Documented Infestations & Safety Failures
If you are looking at a unit in Building 1411 or the surrounding units, please read this for your family’s safety. I am a former tenant who just vacated Unit 154 after winning a legal case against management (City of San Jose Case #44790-R).
The unit was officially ruled SUBSTANDARD by the City. However, the issues are not just in one unit—they are throughout the building.
• Building-Wide Infestation: I have attached reports from Banner Pest Control showing that roach activity is documented across multiple units (including Unit 154 and Unit 68). Management was aware of these building-wide issues for 8 months and failed to provide the intensive treatment required to fix them.
• Structural Failures: Vector Control confirmed structural issues in the building that allow pests to travel between walls. Management only addressed these after receiving a formal city citation.
• Negligent Management: The owner, Chi Yen, was found to be in violation of the Rent Stabilization Program and ordered to pay a $1,487.16 rebate for the uninhabitable conditions.
• The "Flip" Warning: Within 24 hours of surrendering our keys, management re-listed our unit (#154) for $2,395—a $100 increase—despite the fact that the City’s follow-up inspection isn't until May. They are cycling new tenants into health hazards before repairs are even verified.
Check the photos I’ve uploaded of the official pest control reports and the City ruling. Don’t let them charge you "luxury" prices for a building that is legally considered substandard.
