Residents of Timber Top apartments demanded the city hold the apartment complex accountable after a carbon monoxide leak

Though it’s been several days since the leak, the terror of what could’ve been is still top of mind for the residents that showed up at Akron City Hall. Raymond Allrutz got emotional speaking to the city council about the incident. He had symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning on Thursday evening and called off for work that day, unknowingly poisoned.Danielle Novak, the managing director for AIY Properties, which manages Timber Top apartments, said investigators determined it was a boiler that caused the leak. Residents told News 5 there have been maintenance issues with the boiler prior to the leak.
Since Thursday, the displaced residents have been staying at hotels. Linda Brymer said she is concerned by the lack of communication regarding AIY Properties since the displacement.
