LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Human remains were found at a much maligned Louisville Housing Authority complex over the weekend.

Louisville Metro Police responded to Dosker Manor around 7:30 a.m. on March 22 on a report of human remains that were found. Police confirmed that bones were discovered at the housing complex near the corner of Muhammad Ali Boulevard and Liberty Street.

Dosker Manor residents, who asked to remain anonymous, said the discovery is all anyone has been talking about in the past few days.

Workers found the remains at Dosker Manor. A resident there said it's sad, but not entirely surprising.

"It's going on like that, what can I say," he said. "Not proud to say that's what's going on, and, like I said, you got to take heed. It's bad. It's going to get worse if we don't stop. We have to change."

For years, Dosker Manor has been plagued with problems.

From bed bugs and roaches to mice and mold, the living conditions there have gotten to a point where Louisville Metro Councilmembers launched an investigation last year.

Louisville Metro Housing Authority had a change in leadership last year. Elizabeth Strojan, the newest executive director, called the conditions unacceptable.

"My first impression of Dosker Manor was that it's unacceptable," Strojan said. 

LMHA decided the best option was to tear the complex down. It is expected to happen next year after the last of the residents are moved.

"I feel a lot better I'm about to leave," a resident said. "Hopefully a lot of good people around here are trying to get out. Everybody's moving, so that's a good thing. Get away from the chaos."
