Residents at an Île Perrot apartment complex still without power since the ice storm
Global News
Tenants at this apartment complex in Île Perrot have been living without power or internet since the ice storm a week and a half ago.
Tenants at an Île Perrot apartment complex have been without power since the ice storm almost two weeks ago. There is water damage from a leaking roof and power can’t be restored until an electrician evaluates the damage, but tenants say they’ve been waiting too long.
“We’re doing as best we can, but it’s dangerous sometimes on the stairs, for me especially,” says resident Jeannie Schenker.
Schenker relies on a medical device in case of an emergency or a bad fall. The device requires power and internet and she hasn’t been able to charge it.
“It’s by GPS, so no matter where I am, I press it, they’ll come,” she says, referring to paramedics.
David Watmore is also a tenant. He’s concerned about water damage from the roof.
“We’ve been given several dates when we would have an appraiser come and have a look, but the dates keep getting put back,” said Watmore.
He said the building’s management company has sent numerous emails changing the date.
“We still haven’t had an electrician come to do the work,” added Watmore.
