CONYERS, Ga. — People who live at an apartment complex in Conyers complain they have no heat as temperatures plunge below freezing.
“Heat has been out since like Wednesday of last week. Me and my girl have been purchasing firewood. We have been setting fires in the fireplace and have all the kids huddle up in the living room,” said resident Brandon Arthur.
Arthur is one of a half-dozen residents who told Channel 2′s Tom Regan they still have no heat despite filing repeated complaints to management at Acasa Terraces at Fieldstone.

“The maintenance guy told me it’s a lot of people where the thermostat is not working,” said Kreshawna Mason.
Mason, who has three children, says she has not had consistent heat since she moved into her apartment in October. She said a maintenance employee attempted to fix her heat but has not successful.
“He brought us a little heater, but that, it was just blowing out cold air,” said Mason.
She says she and her children must wear coats in her apartment to stay warm.
“It’s hard for them to get to school in the morning because it’s so cold. They are asking if we can go someplace else. We have a little heater and we just moved it around.” said Mason.

Mason said when she went to the leasing office to complain, she heard that other people also were without heat. She says she sometimes goes out at night to start up her car to get warm.
“I heard a man, who said he went all summer with no air, and now he doesn’t have any heat,” said Mason.
Channel 2 Action News reached out to a company listing online as the management company for the apartment complex. A representative called back to say they have not managed the property since September.
