Dead cockroaches and raw sewage flooded a tenant’s New York City apartment as the menacing storm battered the area. Tori, the tenant, described to The Mirror her ordeal
Raw sewage spilled out of a basin in the bathroom of one apartment in New York City, amid the devastating storm that is battering the area.
In the midst of the catastrophic torrential rain, raw sewage overflowed from a toilet in an apartment located on Richardson Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Tori, the tenant of the affected apartment, who didn’t want to share her last name, spoke to The Mirror describing the appalling situation.
She said that she heard a noise and rushed towards her bathroom only to find it in disarray. The toilet was overflowing with sewer water, and dead cockroaches were emerging from it, as seen in the pictures. The basement was flooded with approximately six inches to a foot of sewer water, according to the tenant.
Tori told The Mirror: “I heard early in the morning something sounding similar to what it would sound like if you turned a bathtub on in our downstairs bathroom while I was upstairs. I decided to take a peek and all of a sudden I saw our toilet overflowing with sewer water and cockroaches coming out of it. Dead cockroaches and our basement flooded. It was bad. Almost like I’d say like six inches to a foot of sewer water.”
