Lincoln Place Apartments

In December 2019 I begin to experience a lack of hot water. There are two very old boilers on site to provide hot water to the entire complex. I’ve tried to contact the manager to get these issues fixed, but I never receive a straight answer. I’ve been told there were landscaping issues, parts are being added to the boiler to increase water pressure, and I’ve also been told they’re taking to the city to get this fixed. Meanwhile I’m boiling water to wash dishes and take showers. It’s currently March 2020 and I do not have hot water. I’ve talked to many of my neighbors, and they are experiencing the same issues. This was also an issue about 3 years ago. Things got so bad that this complex made it on the news for negligence.

Many of my neighbors are senior citizens. My favorite neighbors are well into their 80’s, and they are carrying large pots of hot water around their apartments in order to shower and clean dishes. That’s such a scary thought.

You can get luke warm water in the apartment for less than 5mins, but in order to get those 5mins of Luke warm water you have to waste about 120- 140 gallons of water. Once you take that and multiply it by all of the other units who may be doing the same thing, we’re taking about wasting over 6,000 gallons of water each month. This is harmful to our environment.

I’m at my wits end and can’t afford to move right now. I would just like to get hot water in my apartment. Please help.
