A/C Unit Issue

On Nov. 12 at approximately 1:55 a.m., an officer was dispatched to make teleservice contact regarding a case.

The officer used the primary squad phone to make contact with the complainant. She introduced herself to the complainant and asked her to explain what was going on.

The complainant explained that the A/C unit in a Towers North room was putting out an odor that smelled like cigarette smoke.

The complainant said she looked at the A/C unit but was unsure what was causing the issue. The officer asked her if she had turned the unit off and the complainant said she had.

She said she opened the windows in the room to ventilate it because the odor was very potent, and said the resident whose room it was would not be staying there for the evening.

The officer advised that based on the information provided, the complainant should advise the resident in the room to submit a maintenance request for the A/C unit through Housing.

The officer advised her that if the issue continued the following day when the resident was in the room that she could notify the police.

She agreed to this, the officer answered any questions and then ended the phone call.
