Since November 2007 till Dec 11, 2007, there have been about five power outages in Pheasant run apartments, Ann Arbor. You have to wait a minimum of 4 hours before the power is restored. Sometime it has been close to 9 hours in the night. Everything in the apartment is electric. So you can’t make food or live. Even the heater doesn’t work, since the thermostat will not work without power supply.
This power outage affects major part of the pheasant run apartments. This does not affect the apartments near the rental office. The pheasant run management has put up fliers in the apartments that are affected, stating that this is a problem with DTE energy and contact DTE energy. Looks like they do not want any complaints directed to the management.
There is no back up at the apartment. I know that they are not required to provide back up. DTE energy when called gives you a time estimate of when this would be fixed. But there is no one time fix. I know that there cannot be a permanent fix, but there should be something better. You just cannot survive power outage so many times in winter in the same month.
DTE energy is not responsible for bad weather power outage/ pheasant run management is not responsible for this, how can this problem be solved by hundreds of residents who suffer in the freezing cold without food and heat?
This is a cheaper apartment, but not a safe place to live. Live here if you are willing to starve and freeze to death.
