We received a call from the downstairs neighbor, at 8:30 am claiming that there was a leak in her bedroom from our radiator. I tended to disbelive such a claim, since we had the radiator unattached and removed from the heating pipe about a year ago. We went to the apartment and the area around the heating pipe was bone dry. While looking at the heating pipe, we saw that one of the a/c holes had been cut into the wall under the window.
Later, Luke discovered that it wasn’t a leak that affected the downstairs neighbor’s apartment, but there was a large crack in the ceiling. We believe that the condition of the downstairs apartment is so poor that it cannot withstand any pressure from above. It is truly unfortunate that the landlord has not maintained his property over the decades.
There was also a mysterious bullseye chalked onto the orange wall. And then Luke took a picture of me reclining on boxes of the bamboo, which are soon to be flooring. (Click on images to see larger versions.)Our kindly neighbors across the hall called us to let us know that two ceiling fans had arrived, so we went back to Orange Street to put them inside the apartment. Another neighbor did a fantastic job decorating the lobby for the holidays, with beautiful wreaths and garlands.
