Residents told 10News the apartments are under new management. They’ve noticed some changes since last year’s major storm. An outside courtyard wall had holes drilled into them, likely to help the water drain out. They also put new drain covers in the courtyard and the carport.
Someone came by before the Tuesday's rain to make sure all the drains were working.
The apartments that had flooded out have been redone. New tenants moved in about a month ago, according to a neighbor.
