ORIGINAL STORY
LAS VEGAS (KTNV) -- At 13 Action News, we get a lot of calls and emails from people dealing with disgusting living conditions. This call may have been the worst of them all.
A viewer called to tell us about human and animal feces in a stairwell at his apartment near Fremont Street and Bruce Avenue.
"Human feces in the stairwell, dog feces in the stairwell, garbage, food thrown in the hallways, stairs, I mean, it's pretty unsanitary," said John Allen, who reached out to us for help.
Allen said he has had bed bugs twice in the year and a half he has lived there. There are also issues with the air conditioning and the carpet, but his frustration reached a peak in early September when he found poop in the stairwell.
"It laid there for about 48 hours before somebody just swept it up, did not clean or sanitize the stairwell," said Allen.
He said he has told management about it several times, but no one came to clean the area. 13 Action News went to talk with management.
The manager asked us to call their attorney. He told us over the phone that he would have someone go out and clean the area.
