water leaks!

So I stopped by my condo tonight with my sister and my brother-in-law to see what's the latest status to it. My sister noticed that there's water on the floor in the bathroom stall. I guess it didn't quite make sense since I haven't moved into the unit yet. She looked up the ceiling and noticed that there's water dripping from the ceiling! Hard to believe this would happen to a brand new condo.

Since it was around 11:30pm, I figured I shouldn't go upstairs to knock on my neighbors door to tell him to stop showering in that bathroom. I'm gonna have to go back there early tomorrow to let him know instead.

I went back home afterwards and called the 24-hour emergency number that's listed in the Homeowners Association Booklet to report the issue. After a few rings, some friggin answering machine answered the phone and says "You have reached the 24-hour emergency hotline. Please leave a message about your emergency and someone will call you back shortly." It has been two hours and no one has called me back yet. So much for calling this an emergency hotline...

Seems like these guys need an ass whipping. Start raising hell with the rest of the home owners (power in groups). Setup a yahoo.groups and pin the link on everyones doors. Then everyone can voice their opinions on how to handle the situation.

Did you actually just say setup a yahoo.groups and pin the links on everyones door. Man..whatever happened to personal contact.

too inefficient and risking identity theft....get with the information age. If I lived in an old person home then I'd give out my personal contact info :-P.
