Minor fixes to the building's plumbing have not been able to solve the problem and now major repairs will be necessary. Those repairs mean that the family has to live with a massive hole in the middle of their apartment while their landlord and a plumber try to fix the ongoing mess.
"We're sitting here outside, waiting until the job is done," she said.
Nilsa said that the family will be moving soon and she hopes that future tenants do not have to deal with the same problems.
In the mean time the family is washing dishes outside and using their neighbor's bathroom.
