More problems are plaguing a downtown Orlando condominium and the city is getting involved to help.

Eyewitness News learned the Metropolitan at Lake Eola is almost $40,000 past due on its utility bills. The Metropolitan's manager said the homeowners association is $120,000 in debt.

The reason, he said, is that 38-percent of the condo owners are either not paying their HOA fees or they're not paying enough.

"The core people that care are paying for those that don't and it's not fair," said Ian Stewart, a condo owner.
OUC said it probably won't cut the power, but there's a chance it will shut off the air conditioning to the building. The Mayor's office said city staff is exploring some options like tax breaks to help the building.
