Asked where the basic respect is for residents, noting all the new development while people live without heat and hot water, and demanded a solution.

Said her stove has been broken for a month, the carbon monoxide alarms don't work, she nearly died with her kids from a suspected gas leak, her stairs are falling down, and she lost $4,000 in property.
