She claims it was done by people directing threatening behaviour towards the older residents of the court and creating an atmosphere of violence.
Mrs Seales said: "My life is in danger and the older residents are really scared. Everybody wants to move out but why should I, this is my home.
Mrs Seales claims there are drug problems in the area fuelling the vandalism.
The council's housing officer Ann Johnson said: "A couple of the flats have been let out by the housing association and there have been problems but they are being dealt with.
"Some of the residents had a party and as a result some windows got broken."
