The Leak (4) & Fox Management Group Defaults, OWES OVER $3,400! (#379)

As it turns out, the plumbing problem was caused by art therapist Eddie Foss' failure to drain the heating system boiler twice weekly.
Over the course of a rather vicious winter, the water level grew and grew, until hot water, not steam, was pushed thru our pipes and into our radiator, where it "leaked" thru the steam valves!
Why is Eddie to blame?
Because he has the only key to the boiler room!
Only he has access!
Thus, only he could possibly drain the boiler!

Remember, Eddie: 

With 

Great Power 

Comes 

Great Responsiblity!

In addition, Fox (and thus the Board) will have to pay the plumbers not only for the emergency call and repairs to the boiler, but over an hour's waiting time at $99 per hour per man for two people sitting around until the key could be acquired from Eddie Foss and brought to the condo!
That's almost $200 for plumbers to sit around drinking coffee!
Another example of Fox Management's sterling condo management skills!

More on Monday!

Friday's total for Fox Management Group's still-unpaid bill from July, 2008 (over a year ago, now!)...$3,487.38 from an original $75!
They've broken the $3,400 level!
Now that the 1% per workday cumulative late fee is over $33, it's really mounting up, at a rate of $170+ a week! That's more than double the amount they originally owed!
It's over 375 (THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE) late charges, and now the amount (with late fees) is over 46 times the original bill...
Is that just pitiful, or what?
I hope for her sake that Mara's better with her library books and DVD rentals! ;-)
Personally, I think she's a terrible role model for her kids, demonstrating financial irresponsibility (not to mention arrogant stupidity) as being a good thing!
