‘It’s inhumane’: Tenants outraged over sewage-filled apartments in NW OKC

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Tenants at a northwest Oklahoma City apartment complex are outraged over filthy living conditions.

Persistent sewage flooding has taken over several units, leaving a smelly and unsanitary mess.

“It’s horrific, horrendous, it’s inhumane. Nobody should have to live like this, especially children and we are paying you know what I mean its not like we are squatting in a home,” said Sarafina Walls, a resident at the Villas on 50th.

Walls moved into the Villas on 50th at the beginning of September and pays over $1,200 in rent.

She says that her apartment has already flooded with sewage three times.

“Bathrooms overflowing, both bathrooms, flooding into bedrooms, carpets, closets, destroying my daughter’s belongings, my belongings, just destroying the quality of life overall,” said Walls.

She’s not the only tenant left with a smelly, sewage filled apartment.

“The only place that was dry was my daughter’s closet, so that’s where we slept for three days,” said Aaliyah Hankins, resident.
