Her apartment near Houston St. stank constantly from who knows what toxic compounds, and she was told she'd be reimbursed for an air purifier. So she bought a good one . . .and then was told she lived too far away to qualify and so no reimbursement and no help. I've no doubt plenty of fraud occurred, but I wonder how many legitimate claims were denied. The whole mess just points to big big holes in this supposed safety net.</p>
