Quality Work! by cms19tx

This is part of the REPAIR work (YES, this is the finnished job) to fix the leak from the upstairs bath that was "RAINING" into the living room below. This was one of several previous leaks reported by past tenants so I guess a little more water would not matter! It took maintenance 2 weeks and 3 calls to respond to this leak. According to the manager and the head maintenance person in their depositions - REPORTS OF A LEAK ARE TO BE TREATED LIKE A FIRE!!!

Wall behind refrigerator by cms19tx

I pulled the refrigerator out from the wall because I noticed something on the baseboard between the cabinet and refrigerator I had not seen before. The wall was falling apart behind the refrigerator. This is actually how it is when the apt. is rented out!!! The mold is creeping along the baseboard but has also grown on the hose leading to the back of the refrigerator and is destroying it too.
