Day 7 of the leak.
May 6th 2011 15:36
This morning we again woke up to more water on the floor and chipping paint. We left it there until the owner and plumbers came. They were supposed to be there at 6PM. Not surprisingly the owner did not show up. Many people attempted to call him, but he would not answer. A little after 7 the managment did succeed in contacting him. He gave some half assed story and said he would meet everyone tomorrow, Saturday morning. We'll see. Before the plumbing contracter, who originally discovered the leak source, left he suggested that the water be turned off, as it posed a fire and electrocution risk for the tenant, as electrical wires ran beside the plumbing wthin the concrete walls.
On our way out we met the tenant from next door. He couldn't figure out why his water was off. After talking with him we realized that no one had the decency to tell him what was going on. We explained the situation and warned him of the dangers of using the bathroom where the leak is occurring. We advised him to keep bugging his landlord until the leak was fixed and even to ask to be put up in a hotel until the job is finished. He was very cooperative. This is actually the first time he has ever talked to anyone on the floor. He has been very antisocial since moving in.
Tomorrow will be another story. I personally feel that the owner will drag his feet on the repairs as he does not want to spend a dime to improve or maintain his property. I hope I am wrong.
