I’ve never even heard of it, having no AC for over a year," said Vanessa Downen, a Hazelwood resident.Downen moved into the Hazelwood Forest Apartment last summer. She quickly learned that her air conditioner didn’t work.“They determined it’s broken. We need to replace the entire unit. And then after that, I got very little information, very little action," she said. "Almost nothing done at all for the next year.”Downen claims that a new management company took over the complex a few months ago, complicating her efforts to get her air conditioning repaired.“With that, all of the information pertaining to the maintenance orders that I put in, pertaining to the complaints that I put in, all of that information is gone," Downen said. "Disappeared out of their system. So they didn’t know who I was. They didn’t know I didn’t have a working AC.”And she said she’s not the only ...
