Sounds like the landlord has a lot to answer for.The city of San Antonio cut off the power Thursday to dozens of residents in a North Side apartment complex.
Officials said the One Eleven Dot Apartments, in the 100 block of Dot Drive, are unsafe and unlivable, but many residents said this is the first time they've heard of it.
Residents said if it wasn't the bugs, it was the rats, and if not the rats, it's the city saying the building was a death trap.
...
The apartments received 75 code violations in June alone. Many of the violations dealt with the condition of the homes themselves, including life-threatening gas leaks, carbon monoxide leaks and exposed wires.

A man goes out with a woman, but winds up in the hospital after getting carjacked.
Investigators say the victim was most likely set up by that woman, who he picked up on the east side off New Braunfels Ave late Wednesday night.
The couple started fighting in his SUV, and when he pulled over she yelled for another man who ran up and started beating up the victim and stole his automobile.
They caught the carjacker, and the man who was jumped will probably be fine. But, I bet he screens his dates a little better from now on.

"Just a thud, really, was all it was," Lorenzo Carmona said.
Carmona and his family didn't think the noise was much last night, until they came out and saw their cars crushed.
The homes in this neighborhood were built in the last few years around tall, 80-year-old cedar elms, and Carmona is convinced that building the homes essentially killed the trees and made them vulnerable.
He said he asked the homebuilder, Pulte Homes, to tear this tree down two months ago. Pulte refused and said it was Carmona's problem, but Carmona said other neighbors did get Pulte to tear down their vulnerable trees.
What a strange hobby.San Marcos police have ruled out foul play in a case in which a man's body was found Saturday afternoon in an apartment complex trash bin.
