Скачать или смотреть Residents complain of revolting conditions at Hill Chateau Apartments in Akron

Breianna Schillinger says living in the Hill Chateau Apartments in Akron's North Hill neighborhood feels like torture. She claims she hasn't been able to use her toilet in months.

"I'm extremely frustrated," she told 3News. "We can't put tissue down the toilet, you know? It's gotten to that point."

She pays a neighbor down the hall to use the bathroom, but the toilet isn't her only problem.

"All the patch work that was done on the ceiling and the walls, it wasn't painted, it wasn't sanded," she said. "My kitchen sink is detached from the wall, and they didn't fix that for months,” she adds.

As we interviewed Schillinger outside the building, another resident came up saying she has issues with her apartment, too. She asked to remain anonymous.

"There are drawers that I cannot use. There is a hole in my pantry where rats come in and out," she stated. "I taped it, and I can hear it all night."

The woman says the scariest moment while living at Hill Chateau came when her child found a syringe in the cabinet.

"I was terrified. My heart dropped," she recalled. "I literally started crying."

The owner of the property is Kevin Saunders. He told WKYC over the phone that is the first time he's hearing about some of these issues, adding, "We are available for our residents. When we receive maintenance requests, we respond to them promptly and to the best of our ability."

However, tenants say it takes a while to hear from him. Mitti Hicks reports.
