Firefighters were able to put out the fire, but heavy smoke had already damaged the entire apartment.
The resident claims he called maintenance two days ago to report that the outlets in his apartment were not working properly and they did not send a crew to make any repairs.
Mission Park Apartment maintenance will be evaluating the property.
Alone and disabled, the resident is displaced and needs to find shelter.
