Renters In Apartments Facing Foreclosure Report Illnesses, Breathing Problems After Noticing 'Black Stuff' Growing In Their Units

In Fresno, California, KFSN-TV Channel 30 reports:
  • A condo complex already facing foreclosure is now dealing with potentially toxic fungus as well. Tuscany Villas is on Fruit just north of Herndon in Northwest Fresno. Action News first reported about foreclosure proceedings in January and a follow-up uncovered the new problems.
  • Several residents have reported illnesses and breathing problems after noticing something black growing in their units. They thought it might be toxic black mold, but test results in one apartment show a different problem -- a black fungus that's also potentially toxic.
