Zero communication past 6pm yesterday because the manager went home for the night. Emergency repair and fire department came over night. 8am still no status or information. If water was in the walls, doesn't that mean a risk of black mold? Not like they're going to open all the walls to check

Actually, they *should* do exactly that. When our building had a water pipe burst soon after people started to move in, they did exactly that for the units that could have beeb affected by water. They opened our wall (which was inside a closet) inspected for damaged, then fixed it and had everything back to normal as quickly as possible while being apologetic and grateful for our understanding. I know people in this subreddit love to shit on DVORA (Shuster) but they have always done well by us, and this is an example of such an occasion.

this is exactly why the "good" buildings have that "maintenance guy" that gets the free or dirt cheap apartment . But too many of them corpo buildings can't sacrifice a precious revenue stream apartment to do that anymore. You show me a building that has the maintenance guy the speaks ESL living for free in the basement for first floor apartment and ill show you a greatly run / maintained building lol.

Thanks for this. We fled to a hotel overnight fearing safety over the flooding causing an electrical short. Appreciate the fact check and information!!!
