1982 SPECIAL REPORT: Miami Slums

1982 SPECIAL REPORT: Miami Slums | OVERTOWN PROJECTS

Located less than a mile away from the bustling heart of downtown Miami, was once a desolate ghetto in South Florida. (During the time of this Footage )This area, known as Overtown, is predominantly inhabited by black residents and is characterized by overwhelming poverty. The community is plagued by vacant buildings and a significant portion of its population is unemployed. Overtown is notorious for its high rates of street crime and drug-related activities. Upon arrival, one cannot help but notice the numerous dilapidated apartment buildings that house individuals in substandard living conditions.

Wait did I miss something? Did slums disappear? Have you been to Philly? Baltimore? Camden? Detroit? What wouldn't those kids survive? I think they survive conditions like this every day. And many don't survive. And many didn't survive those conditions back then either. And btw I was a kid in the 80's in NYC (Brooklyn) during the crack era so you can't tell me I don't know.

My mom visited last year and instantly was like "nothing is the same from when she grew in OT they were born and raised out here .. My grandad had moved to Liberty City and had a pretty big house and the house still looks the same no updates but properties around it are updated/being modernized .. Then moved to Dania Beach which at that time was considered "The Country" .. from what I remember as a kid , then moving to alabama then coming back in 06.. being here now , you see the same things are applying at a higher pressure .. think if these people went through the crazy flooding we've just experienced here THIS year .. you hit the nail right on the head with time traveling cause it's exactly what I thought , just going back in an adult state of mind ..

This is crazy how the landlords are able to exploit these ppl and profit from it . When she said her rent went up to $150! That’s crazy even in 1981, with inflation that’s about $450 now in 2023 . My first apartment at 19 was through the housing authority , I moved out and off the housing program after 2 years but my income based rent was only $50 including my utilities and that was 2005 , how was she having to pay more than me for THAT back in 1981 ?

The costs for repair are likely more than the cost of rent received and they would rather pocket the money they get than maintain the property.

It goes both ways. You have slum lords and you also have filthy tenants. Filthy tenants can create slums lords and slum lords can leave filthy conditions for good tenants because they’re tired of the filthy ones.

Maintenance man for years and I’ve seen more people keep their apartment nice if it starts out nice. There are a few that will destroy it in record time!!

Amazing. I looked up the 1136 address and Google had the outline of apts there but when switching to satellite view ..it's a field.

Miami 2024 rent is extremely high and the living conditions are perhaps deplorable.

Could you really imagine saying $150 is way too much to pay in rent and when I went to Miami I swear I never saw a black person other than Dominicans and really mean Cubans. I never even knew that this is wild I wish slumlords did go to jail because I have had plenty of them

When a tenant complains about a problem the water problem floor caving in etc it's up to the landlord to fix it. If the tenant was rented a toxic apartment the landlord and property management company are liable to compensate the tenant. The property Management company has to show proof that they fixed the problem. However if a tenant catches a dangerous problem before the Property Management company fixes it the property management company is liable for the damages.
