Bridgeland apartment building residents cleaning up after multiple floods

In April 2021, residents spoke to Global News about other problems they say have been plaguing the building such as insects, theft, vandalism and maintenance issues.

Nearly a year after sharing their concerns about a Calgary Housing complex in Bridgeland, residents say the situation hasn’t improved, and recently some of units have been affected by flooding.

Kavin Sheikheldin lives at Bridgeland Place with her mother, and says the building flooded four times during the week of Dec. 26th.

“It has caused lots of people to get their carpet and other supplies at home soaked and wet” said Sheikheldin.

The cleanup, according to Sheikheldin, has been especially difficult on some tenants, including her mother, that live with disabilities.

Sheikheldin says repair crews have been at the building during the flooding.

In the months that have followed, Sheikheldin says not much has changed.

“Some tenants are still having the cockroach and bed bug infestation, and sometimes the elevator goes down” she says.
