Tenants of University Square Apartments live under dangerous circumstances

Anderson, Indiana – Residents of an apartment building in Anderson claim that they haven’t had hot water or heat for months.

This is in addition to gas leaks, mold, and malfunctioning fire alarms.

The University Square Apartments’ residents were talking about their continuous hardships. Residents have been dealing with these problems for months, claiming that the administration has been indifferent and contemptuous.

“Why are they using their stove to heat their home? Carbon monoxide is that! According to Kim Murphy, a resident’s family member, some people have been doing it for so long that their stoves have stopped working. “We have folks without lights over there! However, they continue to pay their expenses.

Hamilton was played by Lin-Manuel Miranda at the ‘SNL’ cold open.

Residents claim that for months, they have been without essential facilities. Families characterize it as an older community, yet despite the influx of new residents, none of the issues are being resolved.

The main laundry area of the complex is beginning to leak, and some apartments still lack hot water and heat.

Why spend over $1,000 a month living that way? It’s an apartment! Why lead such a life? Murphy remarked, “They don’t have rats or roaches running through their house, and they’re not nasty.” “They’re not griping about it. The mold and the water in their house are the sources of their complaints. They have water one day, and then they don’t.

One renter is worried that the mold in their flat may affect her health because she was just admitted to the hospital for a lung infection.

One of the residents, Ziya Jackson, stated, “The ceiling is about to collapse.” “My bedroom, the windows, and the ceiling all have mold. It’s everywhere in the window. The other bedroom also has mold. In the kitchen and beneath the sink, there is mold.

Residents claim that despite their persistent attempts, they seldom ever get a response when they reach out to property management. The property management merely informs them that their rent is due when they do respond.

According to Toemeka Brown, a resident’s relative, “My uncle lives in 1930 and he has been complaining about the heat and he has cancer.” He had been going through a difficult period. I have no idea what’s going on with management or the maintenance department, but something has to give.

Locals claim that despite a notice from health inspectors two months ago, not much has changed. In order for residents to live in their homes safely, they urge the local government to step in.
Murphy stated, “They simply require assistance.” It has been since Thanksgiving of 2024, therefore they need someone to help them come up with a plan to get things started. Now hurry up. February is almost here.
