TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – Residents at a Tucson apartment complex are still seeing unsafe living conditions more than a month after the landlords were sued.

Last month, Attorney General Kris Mayes sued Luxford Living, the owners and operators of three Tucson apartment complexes, for AC, water, and other safety issues.
“The management is complicit. They say if you don’t like it, move. Break your lease,” Michael Friesner, a resident at Sedona Springs, said.
Friesner said it’s not something he wants to do a year into living at Sedona Springs.
But after seeing continual issues even after a lawsuit was filed against the owners and operators of the complex, and two others in the area, for unsafe living conditions, Friesner said he doesn’t know what else to do.
“The ground crawls at night,” Friesner said.
He said cockroaches take over the floor of his apartment throughout the night, pointing to the dozens he’s caught in traps over the past few months.
“You have to end up throwing food away; everything has to be bagged up,” Friesner said. “They get on the bed, and they crawl all over me. I just feel dirty.”
Eight days after the lawsuit was filed on Aug. 12, Friesner said his hot water stopped working and hasn’t been restored.
“Cold showers, I have fibromyalgia, so it actually hurts to take a shower,” Friesner said.
The lack of hot water hasn’t only impacted showers.
“My dishes you can’t clean, or you don’t feel like they’re clean. I scrub them before I stick them in the dishwasher,” Friesner said.

Friesner said in the past month, he’s asked when the hot water would be fixed multiple times, but the date keeps getting pushed back.
“I’ve got to the point where I’m tired of hearing them make excuses, lying to me, just to get me out of the office,” Friesner said.
Friesner filed a complaint with Mayes’ office a few weeks ago. Her office said it has been receiving a lot of complaints since filing the suit.
In a statement to 13 News, Mayes’ office said the lawsuit is ongoing and being actively worked on, adding that the water issues Friesner has seen are one of the main allegations in the suit.
The office said in part: “These landlords have a duty under Arizona law to provide safe and habitable living conditions for their residents and Attorney General Mayes will not stop fighting until they do.”
13 News reached out to Luxford Living for a response but has not yet heard back.
Mayes’ office is asking any residents who are seeing issues to file a complaint through her office.
