A WOMAN “living in hell” claimed she hears “drug users scream” all night outside her flat – but no one will help.
Sabina Redlarska is desperate to leave her Hyson Green apartment, on Noel Street, in Nottingham, as she lives “scared for her life”.
The 39-year-old, who has been there for six years, originally chose the property because it was close to her workplace.
But now, her former sanctuary and “safe space” has descended into mayhem.
The front door of the building is broken which means drug dealing yobs and threatening characters are able to roam freely in communal hallways.
Sabina told Nottinghamshire Live: “The night fights, the terror of people being high on drugs screaming because they are having a bad trip – what is supposed to be my safe space is more like living in hell.
“I’m dealing with depression and these situations are adding to it.
“On many occasions, when I leave my flat, I have to hide back in quickly because there’s a group of addicts hanging out in the staircase.”
While the traumatised resident admitted no one has caused her physical harm, she constantly feels “uncomfortable”.
A disgusted Sabina also claimed they leave a trail of rubbish and human waste behind them, from sick to blood-stained tissues.
But, the 39-year-old claimed AAAF Properties – the company that owns and runs the complex – leave her feeling “disregarded” when she complains.
She is desperate to leave the “very unsafe space” and is now “scared for her life”.
Sabina eventually suffered a “breakdown” that left her in hospital and saw her signed off work for nearly four months.
She also resorted to installing her own CCTV cameras for protection.
Neighbourhood Policing Inspector Liz Gaskin said: “Our officers take all reports of drug supply incredibly seriously, as we know how much of an impact this offending can have on communities, and that it can often be a precursor to other associated crimes like violence, robbery, burglary and antisocial behaviour.
“We are aware of the issues that residents have reported around suspected drug dealing in the building and are actively dealing with these concerns as we know communities don’t want this activity on their doorsteps.
“As part of this, our neighbourhood policing team organises regular days of action in the area alongside our partner agencies. We also conduct plain clothes operations and we have also executed warrants in the area in recent months too.
“This included a warrant executed on Thursday (12 September) in Noel Street, which was negative. Our officers spoke to Ms Redlarska and provided her with reassurance and advice on how to report incidents to us.
“The team also posted letters to neighbours reassuring them about the work we are doing to combat this behaviour. A lot of this work is helped by intelligence provided by members of the public who report these incidents to us when they see or hear about them.
“We are extremely grateful to those who report these concerns around drug dealing to us and would always urge others to do so as well by contacting the police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
The Sun attempted to contact AAAF Properties but no details could be found.
