CAMDEN — Gloucester City, a stone\’s throw from the Broadway marine terminal of the South Jersey Port Corp., joined Camden residents Tuesday in opposing placement of a methadone clinic within the port.\”Just do the math,\” Gloucester City Councilman Nicholas F. Marchese Jr. told the board of directors at its meeting Tuesday.

\”We spend millions to revitalize our downtown and riverfront then you want to flood the area with drug addicts,\” Marchese said. \”This will kill Gloucester. We\’d like you and the state to look at alternate sites.\”

Gloucester City officials met with members of the Chatham Square Tenants Association last week to discuss chronic maintenance problems and safety issues at the apartments, which had been purchased by Gloucester City this April.

Mayor William James, City Councilmen Bruce Parry, Jay Brophy, Nick Marchese and John Hutchinson, and William Daly, president of Community Investment Strategy (CIS) Management, discussed many issues with some 35 tenants.

The Association was formed six weeks ago because of difficulties in getting CIS to do maintenance work at the apartment. CIS was hired by Gloucester City to manage the eight buildings.

\”Chatham Square has 100 total units, of which 44 are occupied and in need of serious repair,\” said Anthony Parisi, founder of the Association.

Mayor James and Daly said that due to the problems at the complex, new maintenance staff and a new manager will be hired.

\”We now have hope and light that things will change,\” Parisi said.

Problems that were brought up included no electricity, no working washers and dryers, leaking propane tanks (which have been corrected), no leases, no record of security deposits, and no Certificate of Occupancies for any of the units, he said.

\”The Chatham Square residents finally feel as though they are being listened to, and appreciated the City officials attending the meeting,\” Parisi said, which was outside the manager\’s office.

The mayor said the existing tenants will be consolidated into three best structural buildings on the complex.

The City\’s short term plan is to renovate the units where the families will live. Future plans are uncertain.

In the 1930s the establishment on North Broad Street began as a bakery before turning into Ogle\’s Cafeteria. In 1973 Frank Weber bought out his partner and changed the name to Weber\’s Cafeteria.

Around 20 years later Dennis Weber and his sister, Sandra Moszkowicz, took over the family business from their father.

At its height, Dennis Weber said, the cafeteria flourished as patrons filled the 190-seat establishment to eat home-cooked meals featuring roast beef, turkey and fresh rolls.
