But Lemmer later said that "cooperation from The Harmony dropped off shortly after the meeting with neighbors in late May."

This week, Lemmer posted an update saying she discussed the Harmony apartments with Assistant City Attorney Jennifer Zilavy, who is now “reviewing the situation and options.” Lemmer will meet with Harmony and the MPD next week to “discuss immediate actions and consequences for noncompliance,” she said. She noted some adjustments to parking should help alleviate neighborhood concerns about crowded streets.

"I'm optimistic that we'll have a path forward as a result of this upcoming week's meeting between the Harmony ownership and management, Attorney Zilavy, MPD and myself," Lemmer said in an email.

Kevin Newell, president of Royal Capital Group, said in June that his organization is taking steps to address issues at Harmony, but also believes Madison needs to re-examine how tenants of affordable housing developments are received in their neighborhoods.

Some neighbors have taken a concerning tone in criticizing the development, Newell said. He shared an email from a neighbor that calls Harmony tenants names like thugs, degenerates, gangbangers and barbarians.
