Residents of a Bronx building have had enough after they said it's been 10 years without cooking gas in their homes — and are fed up with their complaints falling on deaf ears
He and others who live there are desperate for change, and voiced their displeasure at a rally Wednesday morning. For the past decade, they say they have survived without gas, using makeshift kitchens instead.
The building has been in a legal foreclosure process since 2020. The temporary building management appointed by a judge told NBC New York when reached for comment,"I have done everything I can possibly do within my role and responsibilities as Receiver to better the living conditions for the mostly Latino and African American families living in this building."
Con Edison crews have recently been working on fixing the gas line issue, but some pipes must still be repaired by building management.
