55-year-old, Riechell Hall, found comfort cooking inside her Williamsbridge apartment, but that all changed two weeks ago when the gas stopped working. <\/p>\n
Hall said she noticed the issue over Easter weekend. <\/p>\n
“It’s affecting my livelihood and it’s affecting my pocket and it’s affecting my anxiety,” she said.<\/p>\n
She called management, but they only provided frustrating news. Hall was told the gas could be turned off for 6 months to a year. <\/p>\n
“I can’t stay like that. The holidays will come through and I won’t be able to cook dinner or nice meals,” she said.<\/p>\n
As days passed, management did not put any signs letting tenants know about the issue, forcing Hall to take matters into her own hand.<\/p>\n
“As soon as I found out from the office, I put that note downstairs,” she said.<\/p>\n
But Hall is not alone, the gas outage is also impacting two other buildings. <\/p>\n
Neighbors outside of their doors told News 12, management has left them in the dark with no notice about the issue or resources.<\/p>\n
Others said Con Edison was unable to fix the problem because of the unsafe conditions in the meter room, including mold, live rats, and feces. <\/p>\n
Con Edison told News 12 they are waiting to gain access to the meter room in order to restore gas to tenants. A source confirms, the unsanitary conditions in the inaccessible room, are a responsibility of the landlord and management to fix. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"55-year-old, Riechell Hall, found comfort cooking inside her Williamsbridge apartment, but that all changed two weeks ago when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203337,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":{"0":"post-203336","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-bronx","8":"tag-bronx","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-city","11":"tag-nyc","12":"tag-the-bronx","13":"tag-the-bronx-headlines","14":"tag-the-bronx-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
