I mean, come on! Can't they just move the pole a bit? It's literally right in front of his back door . And that smell? Not cool . I've heard of easements before, but this seems like an overreach to me. CenterPoint Energy should've communicated with Quinonez about the installation plans beforehand. What if he was out of the house during the process? That would be a disaster . They're supposed to serve the community, not disrupt it . The worst part is, they just shrugged it off and said their priority is winter storm prep . Like, how does installing a pole in someone's front yard prepare for a snowstorm?
Omg, this is crazy!!! I mean, I get that utility poles need to be installed, but can't they just give people a heads up? CenterPoint Energy's response about focusing on the winter storm is super weak too... like, what about your customer's property rights and safety?! They're supposed to be serving their community, not causing them more headaches. And that dark substance leaking from the pole? Not cool at all Quinonez is totally right in saying they need to move the post to a safer spot. This whole situation just stinks .
Ugh, that's so unfair! I mean, come on, a utility pole right in front of the door? That's just ridiculous! They should have known better than to just slap it down without checking with the homeowner first. And the smell and stain? No thanks! Just get it cleaned up already!
I don't blame Ivo Quinonez one bit for being frustrated. CenterPoint Energy needs to step their game up when it comes to customer service. A heads up would have been nice, at the very least. And what's with the "primary focus is on preparing for an impending winter storm" excuse? That's just a classic case of corporate speak for "we didn't care about your property".
Easements are one thing, but that doesn't mean you can just ignore the homeowner's wishes and install a pole right where it's going to cause problems. Not cool, CenterPoint. Not cool at all.
this is just crazy! they literally just installed a utility pole in someone's front yard without even asking them if it was okay first. and then they have the nerve to say that their priority is preparing for a winter storm? like, come on! a homeowner has to deal with a strong smell and dark substance leaking from the pole, staining their siding, furniture, and appliances... that's not something you can just "prepare for" in a few days. what kind of customer service is this?
Ugh, can you believe this?! They just go around installing poles wherever they want and don't even consider the homeowner's space . I mean, come on, it's not that hard to move a pole a little bit to avoid a door. And what's with the strong smell and stain? Is CenterPoint Energy paying attention to anyone or anything else besides their own stuff? The homeowner is right, they are supposed to be serving the community, but this kinda behavior just makes me wanna roll my eyes . I would've been way more chill if they just knocked on the door first and asked if it was okay .
