School is back in session at the University of Arizona, but students living at the Sol Y Luna Apartments have more than their grades to worry about. Students say there is flooding in rooms, broken fire alarms, and overflowing trash, among other issues.

“My AC doesn’t work on my side," said Mason Sweinhagin, Sol Y Luna resident."It gets really hot at night.”

Sol Y Luna residents say half the complex has malfunctioning key fobs, so students cant use the elevators or lock their rooms. They say there's also flooding in rooms, broken fire alarms, and overflowing trash disposals. Tracy Zimmerman’s son sent her these pictures of his broken door and lack of AC. In response, Zimmerman started a Facebook group so other residents could share their experiences. In just four days the group gained 200 members.

The complex is in City Council member Steve Kozachik’s Ward 6. Kozachik says Sol Y Luna has around 30 different code violations and a pending court hearing. He says the City has already given the complex a fair warning, and now, enough is enough.

Where are the building inspectors?

I was in this building this past weekend. It is not safe for the students. Where is the University of Arizona? Where is the fire department? Where is the city of Tucson? Who’s advocating for the students?
