COUNCILMAN DAVIS SOUNDING THE ALARM
(South Bend, IN) Councilman Henry Davis, Jr., will be joined with members of the council and
community residents to express their displeasure with the Sterling Group who manages Heritage Place at
Lasalle Square located at 3224 Ardmore Trail. The press conference will take place outside of the
property at 11:00 AM, July 15, 2022.
The Heritage Place property only has one elevator for over 70 senior residents. The elevator has
been out of service for two months and also out of compliance per state and city code. The Sterling Group
has been extremely slow to respond citing problems with the manufacturer and supply issues.
“Regardless of what has occurred with the manufacturer and management company, the residents
do not deserve to be treated in this manner. The residents need their elevator for mobility purposes. We
are one step away from a tragedy. We need action now”, says Councilman Davis, Jr.
Davis said he has been working with the County Building department and South Bend Fire
Department along with the state fire marshall to get some answers but the elevator is not operational. All
media is requested to attend.
Councilman, Henry Davis Jr.
2nd District, City of South Bend, Indiana
