These newly constructed buildings are being made fast with lesser quality but then charging people an absurd amount of rent

No one is doing arson, this building is completely defective and fires start on their own due to bad electrical wiring

All these new buildings catching fire very strange

Yall I live in the apartment adjacent to the roof top, after trying to access the fire thru the 6th floor they found their way into my appt and put the fire out, the roof top is made majority of rubber, the fire department suspects someone dropped a cigarette or sum like that and that’s what started it, they had to go thru my appt to access the rooftop, no one was hurt, my family and I was not home, and no one’s apartment was effected not even mine god willingly

@eastcore I hope you and your apartment are ok. Did you call it in? Do the fire alarms work?
