circuit box

Afghan migrant Ismutallah Heideri lives in the “800s section,” reached by zig-zagging through washing lines, power cords precariously fanning out from a circuit box, and children playing barefoot on the stony ground.

Afghan migrant Ismutallah Heideri lives in the “800s section,” reached by zig-zagging through washing lines, power cords precariously fanning out from a circuit box, and children playing barefoot on the stony ground.

The circuit box caught fire after he fixed it.

In an interview, one woman who rented from her for about 20 years, Griselda Ceja, said she complained repeatedly about a space overrun by rats and a faulty electrical system that caused the circuit box to spark regularly.

Ms. Ceja, 43, described troubling conditions: a circuit box and light fixtures that sparked as she dried customers’ hair.
