One resident said a maintenance crew as fixing his furnace and AC unit this morning.
The next thing he knew, he was getting a call about his apartment.
“I’m just glad I wasn’t here when it happened, asleep or something like that,” Leonard Houston said. “Everything like this material, but it just hurt because you can just get back what you already had.”
The cause is still under investigation.
News Center 7 reached out to Valerie Woods Apartments to see how many people will be displaced. As of the time of reporting, we have not heard back.
