Hoffman said his apartment manager didn’t do anything to temporarily fix his windows after they were smashed, leaving him exposed to the freezing temperatures and snow over the weekend into Monday. “Today they were like, ‘You’re being impatient, you need patience.’ I’m like, I’ve gone without windows for two days, I think I’ve been patient enough,” Hoffman said. By Monday afternoon, when WISN 12 News arrived, the windows were still smashed and shattered glass was everywhere.When our news crew spoke to the apartment manager, they refused to answer any questions.
