We're ramping-up our on-line presence with a new store, so my posting this week is a tad erratic!
On Saturday, Nov 5th, we found a notice on the lobby door stating there was an emergency and the water would be turned off.
As it turns out, art therapist Eddie Foss found water pooling in the boiler room (which only he has a key for) and probably prayed that it was a leak from below.
Fortunately for the condo, and unfortunately for Eddie, it was not to be...
The plumber traced the problem back to the condo's pipe to the sewers, which he had to clear.
It took the better part of the day to complete the task, with heavy-duty equipment brought in.
Not cheap.
And, it was not what Eddie had probably hoped, a leak thru the foundation...
Eddie was probably hoping there was a leak in the foundation, as he had claimed (but was disproved) in an attempt to wrangle more money out of the Board.
On Monday, the 8th, there was an interesting screed posted in the lobby of '60.
It proclaimed that the plumber had told Eddie that tampons had caused the problem.
It then stated that tampons and cigarettes (where'd THAT come from?) were non-bio-degradable and that they shouldn't be put down the toilet.
And it ended, with the equivalent of a little kid stamping his foot, with the emphatic words "Stop it, NOW!"
Curiously, the notice wasn't posted in our sister building, '58.
Why didn't the Ed-iot post the notice in the other building?
Fully half the population who potentially use tampons live there.
Was art therapist Eddie Foss attempting, pitifully, to blame only residents of '60?
Of course, he couldn't mean M & me, since I'm male and M hasn't used tampons since the toxic-shock syndrome revelations of the 1980s!
Interestingly, every unit in '58 has a potential tampon user, except the home of Board member / Business Analyst Carol Krengelis, who's too old, and probably was, even when she moved in.
So why didn't Eddie post a notice there?
More tomorrow...
Effective today (Nov 1st), the condo's fire extingushers' certification expired.
The condo could be fined for each day the vitally-important equipment isn't recertified.
In addition, Fox Management previously-stated that...Fox Valley Fire and Safety has been servicing this Association for 6 years with out any need for unit owners or residents to assist with their work.
I pointed out...
BB: A Unit owner or resident is needed to allow access to the locked building, since Fox Valley doesn't have a key.
A Board member (Judith Lea Marrs, who moved out) previously performed this function.
I did it in 2008 (I billed them for it, and the unpaid bill is the basis for the notice below).
A disgruntled Board member, extremely unhappy at having to do so, assisted them in 2009.
I'll be watching to see who puts the lie to Mara Feldman-Fox...yet again.
No change.
Which leads to...
Friday's total for Fox Management Group's still-unpaid bill from July, 2008 (two years ago!)...$21,025.11 from an original $75!
Monday's total for Fox Management Group's still-unpaid bill from July, 2008 (two years ago!)...$21,235.36 from an original $75!
They've broken the $21,000 level!
Now that the 1% per workday cumulative late fee is over $190, it's really mounting up, at a rate of $950+ a week! That's more than twelve times the amount they originally owed!
It's over 500 (FIVE HUNDRED) late charges, and now the amount (with late fees) is over 180 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! ;-)
