Despite promises from management, electrical problems persist at Southeast Side apartment
SAN ANTONIO – Tenants at the Spanish Spur apartment complex said they are disappointed but not surprised with an ongoing electrical issue that the property manager said would be resolved in a few days. On Tuesday, we visited the complex and found large generators powering many of the units. Since then, property manager Angel Menjivar admitted one of the generators went out again. They forgot to come in yesterday and refuel the generator, so it went out yesterday,” Menjivar said. Menjivar, who on Tuesday estimated a three-day time frame for the electrical repairs, offered a different response Friday.
Apartment residents in southeast San Antonio face health concerns due to power outages
SAN ANTONIO – Residents who live at a Southeast Side apartment complex said recurring power outages have become more than an inconvenience -- they are causing health concerns. Steve Rocco, an apartment resident, said because of health reasons, he and his family were forced out of their apartment around 6 p.m. Sunday when the power went out. Tenants said it took 26 hours after the power went out Sunday for management to bring in generators. But renters said the generators are unreliable and the power went out again, and didn’t come back on until early Tuesday morning. But that’s what my conversation was with the electrical company that we hired,” said property manager Angel Menjivar.
