I will talk to a lawyer. I’m sick of dealing with this.
They did bleed the radiators after they realized that was keeping the new boiler from working, but the under-the-table guys were from three hours away. (You couldn’t make this stuff up.) And every time there was a tiny problem like bleeding a radiator, they’d have to drive three hours here and three hours back. So that caused a time delay in repairs, which caused the dumb girl downstairs to start complaining about it being too hot, which led to them shutting the whole thing off.
The owner himself didn’t go buy the radiator handle himself because he also lives several hours away. They have yet another person acting as the landlord. That person is a clueless drunk who drives around with full wine glasses in the cupholder. (Again, I couldn’t even make this stuff up.) I’m not sure, but I believe the owner inherited the property from his mother, who lived locally and cared about the actual building as well as the tenant. I believe the elderly owner died soon after the new boiler was installed.
It’s a mess.
I’m just slapping my head about this... they should have just given the tenants radiator keys. It’s just a little piece of metal with a square key cylinder, they are all the same and probably cost a buck or two at the hardware store. You guys could have just bled them anytime they needed bleeding.
