Pittsfield Health Department

Can be good or awful. It depends who you actually get to answer your concerns. I have had both very good and very bad results. And The Pittsfield Housing Authority Maintenance "director" knows he has had carte blanche for yearly malfeasance at Providence Court - NAILING all functional windows in the Annex Building 379 East St shut, removing a/c and heat thermostats. Non functional air vents and central air units not working, refusal to test of toxic air quality in the Annex building, non compliance from SMOKING tenants. Fire Alarms goes off way too often for no legitimate reason, laundry room is a dump, And the list is way too long to go on, you get the point. Complain in writing AND go over their agency heads to the State level. And let local media know about brazen activity. And save y

This place is horrific and should be condensed by the mayor. They come on your property with no identification and when asked they get above the law attitude saying " they don't need to prove who they are". This is bad policy in this drug infested city which would allow criminals to take advantage of the elderly and people with disabilities. Secondly, there facts are totally false and made up. So, Pittsfield residents beware of corrupt individuals that only do things to cause pain and distrust and do very little for safety and cleanliness of our city as you probably can see with your own eyes.

I’d give half a star if I could-and that would be just for showing up! Zero follow up to make sure cited complaints are fixed ZERO consequences for landlords who are ignoring blatant safety issues (heating, plumbing and electrical as well as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors) a complete waste of time the city of Pittsfield should be ashamed.

Depends on who actually will respond to your issue(s). New Director is great, Mr. Andy Cambi smart, personable, easy on the eyes, will follow up to make sure PHA actually complies with directives. Suggestion- get an answering machine so complaints can be verbalized and there is a record of it.

The professionals of this office are a waste of tax payers money. The inspector Mike that I met with told me hes not bothering to write a citation because he knows the landowner wont pay it.
