Good that you were able to sleep to the alarm!
Yeah, I get it about pulling the rest of the lecture together today.
We had another “inspection” yesterday, but this time, it was one of the owners as well as the manager. Mona called me when they had gone and asked if they had said anything and what the owner did. Well, the owner mostly stood in the doorway, and once ventured over to the sink (three steps away) and checked to see if the garbage disposal worked. (It does.)
I guess their main interest was the emergency light over the entrance. It seems I have a bulb out. But it also seems I was saved by the bell. Literally. I heard the bells as the inspections moved closer to my apartment and went into the bathroom and bedroom to remove the tape I had on the emergency strings in those rooms. I’m always afraid I’ll pull one by mistake, just because of where they are, so I taped the stings up.
It seems Mona got gigged because a pillow was in front of her bedroom emergency switch string.
My opinion on this whole thing is that once the Suits know what kind of housekeeper you are, you can do no wrong. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it!
In most places, inspections are once or twice a year. Here, though, it’s quarterly.
I think they should be much faster and more effective at making repairs. (My mom says the same thing about her building.)
Here where I work the Inspections are to make sure we’re keeping the place up properly, not to ding residents.
Of course, if we do find hoarders that’s a problem. But otherwise we’re looking for mold, asbestos, lead-based paint, pests, etc.
We have enough of our own problems without looking for those caused by the residents.
