Yvonne Fisher-Riley and her husband, Don, are tired of waiting for answers.
PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Multiple firefighters battle blaze in Warrensville Heights“Why can’t you at least make a phone call?” asked Yvonne Fisher-Riley, a displaced condo owner. “At least call us and tell us something. He won’t tell us nothing. I don’t know why.”Its been nearly three months since a condo at their complex on Country Lane Road caught fire, killing a woman, and causing damage to their own home.
Thanks to their homeowner’s insurance, they’ve been in a local hotel ever since, waiting until it’s safe to go home.But home isn’t safe right now.Fisher-Riley can’t return home until her condo association fixes the roof and siding.Even more frustrating, Fisher-Riley says her property manager isn’t returning her calls.
“I leave messages for him with my name and my phone number, or just leave a message,” said Fisher-Riley. “He knows who I am because I’ve called enough times, and he never calls us back. Never.”So she called the 19 Troubleshooters, and we went straight to the property management’s office.No answer, but we did eventually get a hold of the property manager over the phone.
“We have to start in the area where there’s structural issues,” said Property Manager Chuck Shulman. “We need to make sure the structural issues are taken care of before we start doing anything for the roof or for the firewalls in between. That’s what’s holding thing’s up.” He said work hasn’t begun because they’re still trying figure out the fire victim’s insurance information.Finally some answers for Fisher-Riley and the other tenants, and you can bet the 19 Troubleshooters will stay on this until they see some action.He said they’ve been getting dozens of phone calls on the situation, and between the fire investigators, contractors, insurance companies and tenants, it has been difficult to manage it all.Copyright 2023 WOIO.
