Tenants at Evans Manor, a Southside apartment building owned by the Berkeley Student Cooperative, have claimed significant maintenance delays, health issues and three-day “pay rent or quit’’ notices. As first reported by The Daily Californian in October 2025, alleged maintenance delays, including heating issues, flooding and pests, continue to plague the building, according to tenants. Mold remediation is reportedly underway, according to a BSC spokesperson. Reporters from the Daily Cal toured the building Jan. 30 and found fallen ceiling tiles in common areas, revealing mold in the ceiling, standing water, dead rats and rusting pipes wrapped with peeling duct tape. Reporters also experienced mold exposure symptoms, including nausea, headaches and shortness of breath after visiting the building for 20 minutes while wearing N95 masks.
