A 47-unit building hasn't had hot water for nearly two months, and the heat is out too, forcing the city to intervene.
Tenants in Lachine are asking for help.
Their 47-unit building hasn't had hot water for nearly two months, and the heat is out too.
Residents and the borough say they've tried to reach those responsible for the building, but they're nowhere to be found.
A visit from the fire department came as a relief for Catherine Hamel and Thomas Shedrick.
“It's just been really a nightmare,” said Shedrick.
Heat and hot water is included in the couple’s rent, but they say the heat stopped working last winter and they haven't had hot water since November.
“We can't invite guests over for Christmas one day, washing their hands in cold water,” said Shedrick.
