Zerita Jones

Zerita Jones is a lifetime resident of the South Central Area. She has never lived outside of the 405/110/105/10 freeway enclosed area. Zerita lives with her mother who is 77 (and losing her hearing) to help her with the day today. She lives across the street from the high school she graduated from and within 1 mile from the 3 grocery stores she managed for decades. She is a mother of 5 children and grandmother who enjoys motorcycle riding (very cool) and traveling. She is also a writer, working on several book projects.

Zerita’s building complex along with almost 1500 other tenants on Chesapeake is under the Nuisance Abatement Act, which was filed by the City of Los Angeles. The tenants were not notified of this filing, and discovered it when NBC came out to do a story of their buildings. The news broadcast told a misleading story of their buildings and as a reaction to the NAA filing and this story, the buildings formed a Tenants Association. This tenants association made a declaration against the filing and the story on NBC, and due to this organizing were able to intervene on court case regarding this filing.
