A month before the incident we lodged a complaint to say that the staircase was breaking piece by piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was very upset because I felt it was my fault because she came to visit me, so I blamed myself. Why did they not fix the staircase before the time?\u201d asks Overmeyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fall resulted in a broken ankle and physiotherapy sessions for Pheiffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy sister is still going for physio and she needs another operation soon. The next day, after the incident the City came to fix the staircase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overmeyer is concerned that the wooden railings at the very staircase where the incident occurred are not receiving new metal railings, as other staircases are being repaired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany residents are unhappy with the staircases because they are fixing 19, but 500 staircases need repairs. It is not fair because our staircase, where the incident happened, the rails are still wooden and falling apart\u2026 they replaced one staircase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She hopes the City will focus on the aging windows as many do not open while others are reportedly broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen it rains, the water comes through our windows and other residents can\u2019t open theirs. That also needs replacing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reagan Rubain, who lives at Freesia Court, says residents deserve better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have been living in Ocean View all my life. For me, these flats come from the apartheid era and are almost as old as Ocean View itself and I always thought we deserved better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople fell through the stairs and cracks started appearing and the deterioration and erosion has been showing for years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He adds that the new staircases seem firmer and safer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the past, every time the City replaced it, the wood fell over. The new structure looks firm and it looks better too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dorothy Soetwater, a community leader from Lavender Hill, claims that as residents, they\u2019ve asked the City for years to do repairs on stairs, windows and fences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are happy but we hope they will do the windows next. We fought with the City for the staircases,\u201d said Soetwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 61 councillor Simon Liell-Cock says 100 staircases that are 50 to 60 years old have been identified for priority repairs in Ocean View.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe City identified the ones that were most at risk and the others will be minor repairs such as loose railings and threads to bring it up to a safe standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new staircases have precast steps and metal railings, not the wooden banisters, so it is very sturdy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Due to the large volume of service requests, it is the City\u2019s priority to attend to the most urgent repairs first. Staircase repairs and replacement are a priority.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The majority of repair work required at public housing units is due to vandalism.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If tenants have any safety concerns regarding their units and staircases, they are encouraged to please contact the Human Settlements Directorate\u2019s Call Centre: 021 444 0333<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an R11 million repair project is underway to fix aging staircases at Ocean View\u2019s affordable housing units, residents say it
