Getting a line into a Palo Alto apartment

Hi,
I’m new to the country and my downtown Palo Alto apartment doesn’t have a phone line running into my apartment. The Sonic technician wasn’t able to complete our installation because we need the line run in or repaired. Can anyone recommend a service that does this?
Thank you in advance.

A local electrician should be able to do that for you. However it is law required by the lessor of the building to provide that basic need.

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/face ... Num=1941.4

"California Civil Code section 1941.4 requires that the landlord provide at least one usable telephone jack and maintain the inside telephone wiring in good working order. Any required repairs to the interior telephone wiring are the responsibility of the landlord."

I would contact your landlord so they can get that installed.
