The Arizona Attorney General’s Office has issued a demand letter to Buenas Communities LLC, requiring immediate action to address the lack of proper air conditioning at the Buenas on 32nd apartment complex in Phoenix. This action follows media reports that up to 400 units are without adequate air conditioning during one of the hottest summers on record, posing serious health risks to residents.
The cease and desist letter details potential violations of the Arizona Landlord Tenant Act, Phoenix City Code, and the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act. The Attorney General’s Office expects Buenas Communities LLC to repair the air conditioning system for all affected units by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, July 26, 2024, and provide written confirmation of compliance by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, July 29, 2024.
The Attorney General’s Office will continue to investigate the matter and is prepared to take further legal action if necessary to protect the rights and well-being of Arizona residents.
