In one of the worst heat waves North Texas has faced in years, the city of Dallas responded Tuesday to an apartment complex where dozens of residents said they've been without properly functioning air conditioning for weeks.
People living at Rosemont at Meadow Lane said temperatures inside their homes crept perilously close to triple digits.In response to complaints, code compliance officers and Dallas police descended on the 200-unit complex where the Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center said some have been without properly functioning ACs for weeks.
“Some of these units are as hot as 95 to 100 degrees. These are two-story units. Bedrooms are upstairs, living areas downstairs. Typically upstairs units are out, so families are congregating in living rooms on pallets to avoid having to go up to bedrooms in apartments to try to stay as cool as possible,” said board chair Mark Melton.
Following an investigation that continued into the afternoon, code compliance issued the complex 34 citations for failure to provide adequate air conditioning.
