HOUSTON – Residents at a Greenway Plaza apartment complex are raising complaints about contractors entering their apartments for repairs with little to no warning they say.
Residents tell Channel 2 nearly 40 units were damaged at the Camden Greenway apartments last month when a contractor fell in an attic and broke a water pipe. But the folks who live here say it's the way repairs are being handled that still is causing problems.
"The lady downstairs and myself. We were in our shower and these construction workers were walking in the apartment," says one resident who didn't want to be identified out of fear of retaliation from apartment management.
He goes on to say that contractors are being given keys and access to their apartments with little to no warning. An apartment spokesperson confirms with Channel 2 that contractors do check out keys, but return them to the office when they complete their work.
The tenant who spoke to Channel 2 believes there's an easy solution.
"I think it would've been more appropriate if Camden had a security guard that would open the door for the construction company," he says. "That way they were aware of who was entering and exiting the apartment and whether or not somebody was in the apartment."
The complex spokesperson says the repair work should be finished by the end of next week.
