10 milesVisibilityTONIGHTMostly clear. Cold with lows around 7 above. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.
OKAY HERE WE GO AGAIN A ELDERLY TENANT FROM
FROM THE OLD COLONY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT HAD HER SON OVER VISITING AND NOTICED HOW COLD HIS MOTHERS APARTMENT WAS SO HE DECIDED TO CALL IN TO THE BOSTON HOUSING AUTHORITY HOUSING ADMINISTRATOR WILLIAM MCGONAGLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE NO HEAT AT HIS MOMS APARTMENT.
WELL, BECAUSE OF THE PHONE CALL COMPLAINT OF NO HEAT THE BOSTON HOUSING HAD SOMEONE FROM THE OLD COLONY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT TO COME OUT AND CHECK IN TO THE SITUATION.
SO HE WALKS IN TO THE APARTMENT AND PULLS OUT OF HIS POCKET A HEAT SENSOR GAGET AND GETS A READING OF 68.9 NOW MIND YOU THIS GAGET WAS IN HIS POCKET WHERE IT WAS NOT A TRUE READING BECAUSE OF HIS BODY HEAT TEMPS FROM BEING IN HIS POCKET. THIS MEANS THAT THE TRUE TEMPS IN THE APARTMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER THEN THE READING HE WAS GETTING.
(THIS TENANTS IS AN 82 YEAR OLD ELDERLY WOMEN)
SO THIS TENANT STATED THAT SHE HAS NO HOT WATER AND NO HEAT COMING UP THROUGH THE HEATERS AT ALL. THE MAN FROM THE HOUSING MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT STATED TO THIS TENANT THAT SHE WILL NOT GET ANY HEAT THROUGH THE HEATERS ANMORE AND THAT THE HEAT WILL ONLY BE IN THE PIPES. THIS TENANT STATED SHE HAS HAD HEAT THROUGH THE HEATERS IN THE PAST.
THE TENANT HAD ALSO STATED ABOUT NOT HAVING ANY HOT WATER AS WELL WITH THAT THE MAN FROM THE MAINTENANCE STATED YOU WONT HAVE HOT WATER AND NO HEAT WILL COME THROUGH THE HEATERS ONLY IN THE PIPES AS HOUSING IS TIRED OF PAYING FOR FREE HEAT.
NOW US TENANTS MOVED IN WITH ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED WHEN SIGNING OF THE LEASE. BUT ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO THEY HAD OUT A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR TO INSTALL NWE VALVES AND THERMOSTATS IN EVERY APARTMENT AND NOW WE HAVE NO HEAT OR VERY LITTLE HEAT AND HARDLY EVER HAVE HOT WATER.
IT SEEMS AS WE GET HEAT IN THE EARLY MORNINGS WHEN THE OFFICE IS OPENING UP THEN COME TIME WHEN THEY GO HOME FOR THE EVENING AND THE TEMPS ARE LOWER THE SUN IS DOWN WE GET NO HEAT TO SPEAK OF. SOMEONE STATED THAT IT MUST BE A SMART TEMP THERMOMETER THAT WAS INSTALLED. WE HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE ABOUT THE HEAT WITH THE BOILERS GOING OUT AND ETC. SO ANY WAYS THEY INSTALL THESE THERMOSTATS IN EACH APARTMENT THAT DO NOT WORK AT ALL YOU PUT IT ALL THE WAY UP AND STILL NO HEAT. MANY TENANTS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE NO HEAT AND THE MANAGER WANDA ROLDAN IGNORES THE COMPLAINTS AND SAY THERE IS NOTHING SHE CAN DO ABOUT IT ! NOW WHAT DOSE THAT SAY? WE HAVE ELDERL, DISABLED AND CHILDREN LIVING HERE. THE MANAGER DON'T CARE BECAUSE SHE DOSE NOT LIVE HERE SHE HAS HEAT AND HOT WATER WHERE SHE LIVES . AND HAS THE HEAT TURNED ON HERE BEFORE SHE ARRIVES FOR THE DAY AND SHUTS IT DOWN OR OFF WHEN SHE LEAVES FOR THE DAY WHILE US TENANTS FREEZE ALL NIGHT! THIS IS ABUSE AND NEGLECT AND IT NEEDS TO STOP NOW. JUST LOOK AT THE TEMPS I POSTED AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE. THAT IS COLD TEMPS AND ARE TO GO DOWN LOWER LATER TONIGHT
