Apartment Life #406

 

This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 27 years that I've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 27 years here in a weekly blog post.

I told you that maintenance was installing lights around the buildings, on Tuesday they were working on the courtyard lights and they started pushing the gutters off the roof to get the lights up in places. I'm glad I wasn't walking by at the time when it fell because they weren't even looking to see if anyone was there as the gutters were falling in places. They did remove this later that day.

Since we have no more gutters, when it rains the water will be coming off the roof everywhere instead of just a couple of places and down the gutter pipes at the end of the building.

I spotted the police down the street early Tuesday morning. They got out of the cars and ran into that building and I could hear them pounding on the door yelling, "Police!" I waited around for a few minutes to see if someone would answer the door, but when no one did, they left. 

It was windy one day this week and I spotted this note flying down the sidewalk, so I picked it up and read it. Funny thing is, the 209 building is in my apartment complex. There is no assigned parking so I have no idea what this person is talking about. Maybe that's why the recipient tossed it on the ground when they read it.

This is our pool. That building next to it at the top of the picture is the office. Ever since the new owner took over and hired this new management company, they haven't been maintaining the pool at all. Now they sent out a notice saying that there's too much wrong with the pool for it to pass inspections. *I call BS!* This pool has been here and open and passing inspections for at least 27 years. It passed inspections last Summer and was open, but now all the sudden it won't? Yeah, ok. 

So we have been told it will no longer be here and will be destroyed but if we want to use a pool, we can walk down the street to the next apartment complex *That our owner now owns too* and we can use their pool. I think the manager just doesn't want to deal with the loud kids, people having pool parties and the homeless using it to bathe in every Summer. 

We've been told that they are going to fill it and it's going to be turned into a dog run/potty place for dogs, sometime in the next 2 months. The manager said she doesn't want anyone letting their dogs potty elsewhere on the property. Well there are a lot of dogs down the street that walk here as well as the people across the street. So if she wants to stop them from walking their dogs down the street, she'll have to fence the entire property. No one is going to bring their dog into the office courtyard to use this small dog run. No thank you. 

The high this week was 66F/18C

The low this week was 36F/2C

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
