In the 20th arrondissement of Paris, tenants living in a residence managed by Paris Habitat have been without heating and hot water since early December. A difficult situation to manage during the winter period.
«The temperatures in my home can range from 15 to 18 degrees. In the evening, it is very cold and in the morning there are drafts passing through the hallway.» Wahiba Hallil Bellah is feeling the impact. She lives in a residence in the 20th arrondissement where 2 out of 3 boilers are out of order.
As a result, there has been no heating or hot water since early December for 295 tenants. «The whole family is cold,» notes Wahiba, who is also an opposition SE elected official in the district’s town hall. Since December 3, she has been using a very energy-intensive electric heater placed in her hallway. «We leave the doors open and the heat spreads. It heats well but consumes a lot of electricity.»
The breakdown of the two boilers is incomprehensible to the social landlord Paris Habitat. The three were replaced in 2022 for more than 500,000 euros. For the tenants, the ordeal should end early next week. «The service provider will intervene from Monday to replace at least one boiler,» notes Christophe Dujardin, who heads the East territorial direction of Paris Habitat.
«We hope that both can be repaired but we are awaiting confirmation,» he continues. In the meantime, convector heaters are available to tenants. Paris Habitat promises to cover the extra electricity consumption from the additional heaters.

Wahiba Hallil Bellah, a resident of the 20th arrondissement, describes the temperatures in her home ranging from 15 to 18 degrees.

As a result, 295 tenants have been left without heating or hot water since the beginning of December. Wahiba, who is also an elected SE opposition member in the district’s town hall, expresses her concern, «The whole family is cold.» Since December 3rd, she has been using an energy-intensive electric heater placed in her hallway. «We leave the doors open, and the heat spreads. It warms up well but consumes a lot of electricity.»
The unexplained breakdown of two boilers is baffling for the social landlord Paris Habitat. Especially considering that all three boilers were replaced in 2022 for over 500,000 euros. The tenants are hopeful that their ordeal will come to an end early next week. «The service provider will intervene starting Monday to replace at least one boiler,» notes Christophe Dujardin, the head of the eastern territorial direction of Paris Habitat.
«We hope that both can be repaired, but we are waiting for confirmation,» he adds. In the meantime, electric heaters are available to the tenants. Paris Habitat has promised to cover the additional electricity consumption caused by the electric heaters.
