Montgomery council orders inspections after residents report no heat, water and electrical hazards at Highland Village and Rosa Parks apartments
Summary
Residents described months without heat, a recent water outage and electrical hazards at Highland Village and Rosa Parks Place; council directed inspections, a 30-day follow-up and asked property owners to appear at the next meetings.
A group of Montgomery residents told the city council they have endured months without basic services and dangerous electrical conditions at Highland Village and Rosa Parks Place apartments, prompting the council to order inspections and require owners to return to the next meeting.
At the council meeting, an unidentified tenant said she, five grandchildren and other families have lacked heat and hot water, and had recently been forced into motels while repairs continue. "We've been in a motel since last month, so we wouldn't freeze to death," the resident said, describing space-heater usage and depleted funds.
