AND YET AGAIN NO WATER!!!
That's right, today Thursday November 21st 2013, the water is shut off again from 8 a.m. till supposedly 1:30 p.m. This is absolutely outrageous. No water, not hot or cold! Try and take a dump, or wash your hands, or cook something... impossible. Instead of doing the work during the nigh to minimize the inconvenience to the tenants, they have shut off the water almost every day this week.

NO WATER AGAIN!!!!!
As if it wasn't enough to have the water shut off for three full days last week (between 8am and 4pm every day for 3 days)... today again (Tuesday November 19th 2013), absolutely no water, hot or cold, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. A paper was hung up near the elevators yesterday explaining of the water shut off... less than 24 hours notice (as usual).
The hot water only came back at 6:30 pm!

3 days NO WATER again
On Monday November 11th 2013, a paper was posted at the elevators indicating that there would be another emergency water shutoff and that there would be no water on Tuesday November 12th 2013 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. And just as it was posted, there was no hot water, although the cold water was running for a while. By 4 p.m. the warm water was back, only as a trickle, but was ice cold by 5:30pm. Then the message changed and indicated that there would also be no water on Wednesday and then again on Thursday! Shutting the water off, is happening on an almost regular basis. Having no water for a full day is just not acceptable, let alone 3 days! This is bad maintenance and bad management.
Elevator Vandalism
In the last several weeks the elevators have been badly vandelized. The inner linings of the elevators have been smashed and ripped out by vandals and in the last few days, the metal trimmings have also been forcibly removed. Considering all the problems, I simply do not understand why the building management does not invest in security cameras? It would be much cheaper to install security cameras that would serve a very useful purpose than to have to constantly repair damage from vandalism. But then this may just be too logical for a slum lord to understand.
