INDIANAPOLIS - Central Indiana is experiencing some of the coldest temperatures in more than a year with wind chills dropping to -20. During this winter freeze, some apartment complexes in the city are dealing with heating issues. People living at the Admiral apartments near the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis on the near north side tell our FOX59/CBS4 team they've been living without heat for several days. “Eventually you'll stop hearing that crackling in the pipes like the radiators go quiet,” said Emily Wilkes who lives at the Admiral. “It's just freezing… The last time I remember them [the radiators] being on was maybe, today is Tuesday, so maybe Thursday or Friday.” To stay warm, people like Wilkes are using space heaters, heating pads, and many, many, blankets. “It basically feels like a camping trip a little bit but one we did not necessarily choose to go on,” Wikes said. Admiral apartments on Indy's near north side Our FOX59/CBS4 team spoke with several other residents off-camera experiencing the same issues. One woman said she’s been living without consistent heat since Nov. 29, 2024.  “Nothing is done and everyone here is at a loss,” said an anonymous resident. Some said the problems stem from the boilers needing repair. Others said there are issues with asbestos in the building. There is still no clear answer from management on what is going on leaving the people living here with many unanswered questions. “It’s just been radio silence,” Wilkes said. “Nobody is answering anymore. There is just no way to get in touch with anyone who is in charge of the building anymore.” When our team tried calling the management of the apartment complex, which residents said is now owned by the Indy Flats Apartments, the same message came back every time: The answer automation number is no longer in service. And when our team tried going to the main leasing office, it was closed. It’s reached the point where several people living here called the health department to file complaints.  “My hope is just to be here when that [health] inspector arrives so I can show them what we are going through and they will at least contact the building and be a more authoritative voice to speak for us and what is going on here,” Wilkes said. “I have also reached out to Marion County Health to file a report as the conditions are now deemed uninhabitable,” said another anonymous resident in an email. “I work from home and can afford multiple space heaters. However, there are elderly and disabled individuals here who cannot afford that and this is now hazardous. This is urgent and as a new resident I know of nowhere else to turn.” Given no timeline on when heat may be restored, people living at the apartment building said they will be bundling up with many layers including coats, gloves, hats, and scarves even when sleeping until the heat returns. After this article's publication, a health inspector arrived at Admiral apartments to inspect the property and address the problems. Residents said the heat then turned back on for the first time in days. Residents are unsure, however, how long the heat will stay on based on the recent problems. If the issue is not resolved within the next 24 hours, the health department will take further action. As of this article’s publication, our team has not yet heard back from the management of this apartment complex.  Additionally, our FOX59/CBS4 team has also learned of other apartment complexes in the area that are without heat, too. Our team has reached out to the management at each of those complexes for further comment. Anyone living in an apartment or rental who is dealing with a lack of heat is urged to contact their local health department.
