Heating Woes at Massive Binghamton Apartment Complex
There have been heating problems in about 60 units at the Town & Country Apartment complex on Binghamton s North Side for several days.
City firefighters were sent to the complex around 12:45 a.m. Monday when an alarm was activated by a burst pipe associated with a baseboard heating system.
The pipe was in an apartment that has been vacant for several months. The unit had not been cleaned out after the last resident departed.
A person familiar with the situation said some residents reported their apartments had been without heat for a week.
There are 257 apartments in the 22-building complex at 100 Roberts Street east of the Binghamton Plaza.
