Mott Haven tenants who were impacted by the chimney collapse at their NYCHA building back on Oct. 1 say they’re now living without gas.<\/p>\n
They met in front of 205 Alexander Ave. on Sunday to share their concerns as temperatures begin to drop.<\/p>\n
“We can start feeling the rooms getting cold,” said tenant Cesar Jimenez.<\/p>\n
Jimenez lives on the 15th floor of the building. He said between the gas being cut and the lack of services to prepare a proper meal, he does not know what to do anymore.<\/p>\n
“Right now these people don\u2019t tell us nothing, they don\u2019t visit the apartments to tell us anything. I don\u2019t know what they are thinking of doing,” he said.<\/p>\n
Jimenez purchased a portable heater, despite feeling like it’s too dangerous. Other tenants told News 12 they are doing anything they can to stay warm.<\/p>\n
“I got about three or four blankets on me ’cause at nighttime when I go to the bathroom, I feel cold,” said Victoria, another tenant.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
According to NYCHA, hot water was restored at the Mitchel Housing complex.<\/p>\n
Sources told News 12 gas restoration work was still ongoing as of Sunday night.<\/p>\n
