Residents of Wolf Point East in Chicago’s River North neighborhood are speaking out after multiple dogs were shocked by an electrical current emanating from a metal plate outside their building. The incident has left four dog owners shaken, and they’re demanding answers from the apartment management.
According to eyewitnesses, the metal plate sparked shockwaves in at least 20 dogs, causing them to fall or flee in distress. The owners claim that despite assurances from building management, the issue remains unresolved.
The company behind Wolf Point East says it’s working to resolve the electrical issue and ensure the building’s interior and exterior are safe for residents and pets. However, dog owners who spoke with Block Club Chicago express skepticism over the timeline and communication from the apartment management.
“I feel like they should have told people what was going on… or at least covered [the metal plate],” said one owner. The owners’ concerns stem from a lack of transparency and trust in the building’s ability to address the issue.
The incident has sparked outrage among pet owners, who are now questioning the safety and maintenance of their homes. As the investigation unfolds, these residents will continue to demand answers and accountability from the apartment management.
