Greenview Apartments    |    M.J. Kelly Realty    |    Pittsburgh    ,    Pennsylvania 15221    Landlord Complaint 23-2363

I lost power in my apartment on June 13, 2013 at 7:30 pm. I checked the breakers, none were flipped and the hall lights were still on. I immediately contacted the landlord and was told to call the power company despite the fact that the power was on in the hall. Duquesne Light told me that it had to be an internal problem and to contact the landlord, which I did, but did not receive a return call. Because we had no power, we also had no air conditioning and it was 90 degree out that day, and our apartment is on the third floor, which made it uninhabitable. As a result we had to spend the night at my in laws house. If we had not had nearby relatives we would have been forced to get a hotel. My wife called them six different times the following day before they agreed to send an electrician who was to arrive at 6:30pm. He did not arrive until 7:15pm. He promptly discovered that the stove had flipped a breaker in the basement for my apartment. He restored power and retested to make sure the stove was at fault, and said he would call the landlord the next day. As a result of the power outage I lost at least $150 worth of food in my freezer and refrigerator. It has been over a week now, and we have contacted the landlord at least 12 times, and they still have not even sent anyone to try to fix the stove or deliver a new one. My wife and I have been forced to eat out several nights due to the difficulty of preparing meals without a way to cook them. This is completely unacceptable.
