Residents say the power goes out frequently, and they receive no notifications about the outages from utility officials. The situation is particularly worrying for the many seniors living in the neighborhood who depend on oxygen machines and other medical equipment to survive.

One neighbor described having to sit in their car until power is restored to stay warm during the recent cold weather.
