NOTE FROM ANOTHER VICTIM OF PIZZA PLUS FIRE

Lucas sent a comment to OTBKB this morning. Here it is:

My name is Lucas (no relation to the Luke mentioned above, other than we are neighbors) and I live in the top apartment of the building.

Regardless of how it was started and what will happen to the Pizza Plus, I would just like people to be aware that our landlord and his insurance company are seriously telling us to stay in a shelter and have given us no information at all about what to do or when and if we can move back in or access our things.

The insurance guy, “Harold,” who would not give me his company name over the phone, is even telling us that for two weeks we are not to touch anything and when asked about when cleanup efforts might begin, “It’ll happen when it happens.”

Fortunately, it seems we all have places to stay and great support from our friends or family for the time being but the landlord and his insurance are not fulfilling their obligation in any way to take care of the displaced tenants. I

If they have not, I would recommend that Luke and the other tenants in his apartment contact the Red Cross as they have been extremely responsive and helpful in terms of emergency resources and advice.
