February 12, 2015 - Yvette Churchman, 27, reads to her 4-year-old daughter, Dar-Janae, in their living room at Cypress Gardens Apartments in North Memphis. The Churchman's unit has bulging shelves, bedbug and rodent infestations, mold, mildew, and busted pipes. Federal inspections gave the property a passing score of 75. City code enforcement didn’t have any code enforcement violations until May 21, 2015, after The Commercial Appeal inquired about code violations at that apartment complex. That day, the city issued 27 code violations, records show. Code violations include replacing windows, ceiling, bad wiring, and leaks. (Yalonda M. James/The Commercial Appeal)
