Indianapolis, IN, July 21, 2026 —
An ongoing issue with a leaking air conditioner has led to daily flooding in the apartment of a 62-year-old resident at Lake Castleton Apartments in Indianapolis. The problem, which has persisted for two months, follows a year of unresolved cooling issues within the unit.
The resident and her daughter have voiced significant concerns regarding the persistent water intrusion. They cite potential safety hazards, the risk of mold growth, and the detrimental impact on the resident’s health, particularly during the current hot weather conditions. The daughter detailed the severity of the situation, reporting that maintenance had previously placed a ceiling tile to catch the water, which subsequently failed, causing water to cascade like a waterfall.
Adding to the scale of the problem, a maintenance employee allegedly indicated that the issue is widespread within the apartment complex. According to this employee, approximately 300 units in Lake Castleton Apartments are experiencing similar problems.
WRTV has contacted the management of Lake Castleton Apartments to seek a response regarding the reported flooding and the extent of the issues across the complex. Information regarding the management’s statement or planned actions was not immediately available.
