A longtime Aspen woman is being forced to sell her deed-restricted apartment in Snowmass Village for breaking the rules of the affordable-housing program.
The Aspen-Pitkin County Housing Authority board unanimously voted last week to uphold the notice of violation issued to Jamie Tredeaux, who has owned a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the Fairway III development on Owl Creek Road since 1998.
The housing authority sent the notice last October informing Tredeaux she was out of compliance with its guidelines because she wasn’t living in the unit and owns a home in Redstone with her husband.
Housing authority qualifications specialist Julie Kieffer said she prepared the notice after she got no response from three emails and a phone call to Tredeaux asking her to provide proof of residency and employment in Pitkin County.
Tredeaux’s attorney said his client is innocent and is being used as an example because the housing authority is under intense scrutiny. “Jamie is not a bad-faith actor and she’s not trying to cheat the system,” said Aspen attorney Chris Bryan.
